The Schneider Electric LC1E25004N7IN is a 4-pole (4NO) contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for AC-1 utilisation category at 50 A up to 415 V. AC-1 means it's designed for resistive loads — heaters, lighting banks, or other non-inductive circuits — not for motor starting. The 4 normally-open poles give you four independent switching channels in one compact body.
The supply is not on the shelf; it's a locate-and-quote process through our multi-source network. Plan for a longer lead time than an active part would carry.
The headline rating is AC-1 50 A at 415 V. That's the resistive load rating — it tells you the contactor can carry and break 50 A of steady-state current in a resistive circuit. Don't use this for motor loads (AC-3) or inductive switching; the contactor isn't rated for those duty cycles. The 4-pole configuration gives you four NO contacts, each rated for the full 50 A in AC-1. That covers it for industrial control panels in most global markets. The 850 °C glow-wire test per IEC 60695-2-1 means the plastic body won't propagate a fire under fault conditions — a requirement for panel certification in many jurisdictions. Mechanical robustness is specified: 1.5 Gn vibration when open, 3 Gn when closed, and shock ratings of 6 Gn open / 10 Gn closed. That's adequate for most fixed industrial installations but not for mobile equipment or high-vibration environments like crushers or presses.
The 56 mm width and 93 mm depth fit a standard DIN-rail slot. Plate mounting is also supported if your panel uses a backplate layout. The 64 mm height leaves clearance for wiring ducts above and below. For a 4-pole contactor at this current level, the footprint is compact — useful when you're packing multiple contactors into a control panel.
