The LC1E120Q7 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 120 A in AC-3 duty and 96 A in AC-3e duty at ≤440 V, with a 380 V AC 50/60 Hz coil. AC-3e extends that to higher-efficiency motors with lower inrush. The coil pull-in and hold are designed for the 380 V line common in many 400 V-class industrial networks; the 50/60 Hz tolerance means it works on either mains frequency without derating. The contactor also carries an AC-1 utilisation category for resistive loads, so it can switch heater banks or lighting ballasts at the same pole rating, though the datasheet's thermal current (Ith) would be the limiting figure for continuous resistive duty.
Environmental limits and compliance
Rated for operation from -5 °C to 55 °C ambient, with storage from -60 °C to 80 °C. The -20 °C to 70 °C range at Uc (coil voltage) is a wider window for the coil alone, but the switching mechanism is the limiting factor below -5 °C. Compliant with EN/IEC 60947-1 (general rules), EN/IEC 60947-4-1 (contactors and motor-starters), and EN/IEC 60947-5-1 (control-circuit devices). Also meets the Chinese GB/T equivalents. Mechanical robustness is specified for vibration (1.5 Gn open, 3 Gn closed at 5-300 Hz) and shock (6 Gn open, 7 Gn closed for 11 ms) — figures that matter for mobile equipment or machinery near presses and stamping lines.
