The Schneider Electric LC1E120Q6 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 120 A in AC-3 duty (≤440 V) for switching motor loads, and 96 A in AC-3e for higher-efficiency motors. The 380 V AC 60 Hz coil pulls in reliably across the rated control voltage range. AC-3e extends that to energy-efficient motor designs with slightly different inrush profiles. AC-1 covers resistive loads at the same current level. The 132 mm depth fits standard enclosure depths without crowding the wiring gutter. Rated IP2X — finger-safe from the front, but the contactor is intended inside a panel or enclosure that provides the environmental seal.
Where it is used and sourcing reality
For a BOM line, the AC-3 current and coil voltage are the fit-critical parameters — confirm the 380 V 60 Hz coil matches your control transformer or line supply. EN/IEC 60947-4-1 and -5-1 compliance covers the contactor's motor-switching and control-circuit performance. GB/T equivalents apply for Chinese-market installations. Ambient range -20 to 70 °C at the coil, with -5 to 55 °C operation, covers typical indoor panel conditions.
Integration notes
Vibration tolerance: 1.5 Gn contacts open, 3 Gn closed, 5–300 Hz. Shock: 6 Gn open, 7 Gn closed. These numbers tell you the contactor holds its state under normal industrial vibration on a machine or in a truck-mounted panel. TH treatment per IEC 60068-2-30 (pollution degree 3) means the contactor is protected against condensation and high humidity environments — suitable for non-condensing indoor industrial use, but not rated for direct washdown.
