The Schneider Electric LC1E1201M6 is a three-pole EasyPact TVS contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 12 A in AC-3 duty at up to 440 V — meaning it handles motor switching for small pumps, fans, and conveyors in that current class. The coil is 220 V AC. It mounts on a DIN rail or plate, and the physical footprint is 45 mm wide by 74 mm high by 80 mm deep. It carries approvals under EN/IEC 60947-1, -4-1, and -5-1, plus the corresponding GB/T standards, so it meets the usual panel-building requirements for motor-starting and resistive-load switching. Fire resistance is rated to 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1, and the protective treatment is TH (pollution degree 3) per IEC 60068-2-30 — fine for standard industrial environments, but not sealed against washdown (IP2X only).
The headline AC-3 rating of 12 A at 440 V is the motor-switching current — that is the figure that governs whether this contactor can start and stop a three-phase induction motor without welding the contacts. The same part is also rated AC-1 for resistive loads, where it can carry a higher current, but for motor duty the 12 A limit is the hard stop. The utilisation categories listed are AC-3, AC-3e, and AC-1, so it covers both standard motor starting and the more stringent AC-3e (enhanced electrical endurance) for frequent switching.
