Product details

The AC-1 rating covers resistive loads, and the AC-3e rating extends to enhanced motor switching per IEC 60947-4-1. The 24 V AC coil is standard for control transformers in many industrial panels; verify the control voltage matches your transformer secondary. Depth is 80 mm, height 74 mm. This footprint fits in most compact control cabinets, but watch the gland plate clearance on shallow enclosures. The permissible ambient air temperature around the device is -20 to 70 °C at the coil rated voltage, with operation between -5 and 55 °C.

It also meets EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and EN/IEC 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for fire resistance in household and similar appliances. In washdown or dusty environments, the contactor must be enclosed in a suitable IP54+ cabinet. Mechanical robustness is specified for vibration (1.5 Gn open, 3 Gn closed, 5-300 Hz) and shock (7 Gn open, 10 Gn closed for 11 ms). This is adequate for most industrial machinery but not for extreme high-vibration applications like crushers or large reciprocating compressors without additional damping.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for the LC1E1201B7?

It is a 3-pole contactor rated 12 A in AC-3 (motor switching) at up to 440 V, with a 24 V AC coil. It also carries AC-1 and AC-3e utilisation categories. The coil draws from a 24 V AC control supply.

What compliance standards does the LC1E1201B7 meet?

It complies with EN/IEC 60947-1, -4-1, -5-1, GB/T 14048.1.4.5, and EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and -2-40 Annex JJ. Fire resistance is tested to 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1. Protective treatment is TH (pollution degree 3) per IEC 60068-2-30.

What is the mounting and footprint of the LC1E1201B7?

It mounts on a DIN rail or plate. Width is 45 mm (three 9 mm modules), depth is 80 mm, height is 74 mm. This fits standard 45 mm DIN rail slots.

What is the closest alternative to the LC1E1201B7 in the same family?

Within the EasyPact TVS range, the closest sibling is the LC1E1201B7 itself — no direct drop-in replacement with different ratings is documented. For a different coil voltage or higher current, look at other LC1E variants in the Easy TeSys Control series, but verify pinout and mounting compatibility as they share the same footprint.
