Product details

The LC1E160F7 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 160 A in AC-3 duty and 100 A in AC-3e duty up to 440 V. The AC-3 rating governs full-load motor switching; AC-3e adds margin for lightly inductive loads. The 110 V AC coil pulls in on 50/60 Hz control power. It's rated for 3000 m operating altitude without derating — that's useful if your gear sits at elevation, like a mining conveyor or a pumping station in the Rockies. That's enough for unheated enclosures in most climates.

The footprint is 120 mm wide by 158 mm tall by 132 mm deep, which fits a standard 4-module-wide slot on the rail. The IP2X finger protection means the front of the contactor is safe to touch, but it's not sealed against dust or moisture; keep it inside a panel. The non-overlap time between NC and NO contacts is guaranteed at 1.5 ms on both energisation and de-energisation — that prevents shoot-through in reversing or star-delta circuits.

Built and tested to EN/IEC 60947-1, 60947-4-1 (contactor/motor-starter), and 60947-5-1 (control-circuit device), plus the Chinese GB/T equivalents. The fire-resistance rating is 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1 — the glow-wire test for flammability in a fault condition. Protective treatment is TH (pollution degree 3) per IEC 60068-2-30, meaning it withstands humid, tropical environments inside a panel.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings I need to verify for fit?

The headline numbers are 160 A in AC-3 motor duty and 100 A in AC-3e duty, both at 440 V maximum, with a 110 V AC 50/60 Hz coil. The contactor is 3-pole, 3 normally-open main contacts.
