The Schneider Electric LC1E1201R6 is a 3-pole (3NO) contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for AC-3 and AC-3e motor switching at 12 A up to 440 V, with a 440 V AC 60 Hz coil and one NC auxiliary contact built in. It also carries an AC-1 utilisation category for resistive load switching, and meets EN/IEC 60947-4-1 (contactor/motor starter) and EN/IEC 60947-5-1 (control circuit device) standards, plus GB/T equivalents and the glow-wire test at 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1.
The AC-3e variant covers enhanced motor switching for higher-efficiency motors. The 440 V AC 60 Hz coil means the control voltage must be exactly 440 V AC at 60 Hz; a 50 Hz coil will not pull in reliably, and a 24 VDC coil requires a different order code. The 1 NC auxiliary contact provides one normally-closed feedback or interlock signal without adding a side-mount block. Mechanical robustness is specified for vibration (3 Gn closed, 1.5 Gn open) and shock (10 Gn closed, 7 Gn open), which covers most industrial panel environments including near punch presses or conveyors.
