The Schneider Electric LC1E25008N5WB is a 4-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 40 A in AC-1 utilisation category at up to 440 V AC. That AC-1 rating means it's specified for resistive loads — heaters, ovens, lighting banks — where the switching arc is less aggressive than motor starting. The 415 V AC 50 Hz control coil is a wide-range design, holding in from 0.7 to 1.25 Uc and dropping out between 0.3 and 0.6 Uc across the -5 to 55 °C operating band. The 4-pole configuration is 2 NO + 2 NC, giving flexibility for two-circuit switching without an auxiliary block.
Mounts on either a plate or standard DIN rail — the 56 mm width and 84 mm height fit a standard 4-module footprint on a 35 mm rail. Screw-clamp terminals accept up to 6 mm² on the power circuit and 4 mm² on the control circuit, with a tightening torque of 1.5 N·m and 1.2 N·m respectively. The IP20 finger-safe enclosure is standard for panel-mount contactors; no additional shrouding needed inside a closed cabinet.
The TH protective treatment per IEC 60068-2-30 means it's tested for humid tropical environments — relevant if the panel sees condensation or high relative humidity.
