The Schneider Electric LC1E160B6 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 160 A in AC-3 duty (motor switching) and 100 A in AC-3e at up to 440 V. The 24 V AC 60 Hz coil pulls in the main poles; the non-overlap time of 1.5 ms on both energisation and de-energisation ensures the NC and NO contacts never close simultaneously during transition. It is designed for motor control and resistive loads, with utilisation categories AC-3, AC-3e, and AC-1 covering the common industrial switching curves. The TH protective treatment (pollution degree 3 per IEC 60068-2-30) means it handles humid, mildly corrosive environments without derating up to 3000 m altitude.
Mounts on either a plate or a DIN rail — the 120 mm width and 158 mm height fit standard panel layouts. Vibration tolerance of 3 Gn closed and shock survival at 7 Gn for 11 ms closed means it stays latched under moderate machine vibration.
