Overview
The LC1E1201F5 is a Schneider Easy TeSys Control contactor, 3-pole normally open, rated 12 A in utilization categories AC-3 and AC-3e at up to 440 V. The coil is 110 V AC, 50 Hz, and the block includes one normally closed auxiliary contact. This part is discontinued by Schneider; sourcing is via surplus or last-time-buy channels.
Function & operation
Rated 12 A in AC-3 (motor starting/switching) and AC-1 (resistive load), the LC1E1201F5 handles small motors, pumps, fans, and resistive heaters within a 440 V line. The 110 V AC coil at 50 Hz matches standard control transformers in many regions; the built-in 1 NC auxiliary provides status feedback or interlocking without an add-on block.
Applications
Switches three-phase motors and resistive loads in panel boards and OEM machinery. Common in HVAC and pumping applications.
