The LC1E2501BD is a 3-pole contactor from Schneider Electric's Easy TeSys Control range, rated 25 A in AC-3 and AC-3e utilisation categories at ≤440 V, with a 24 V DC coil and one normally closed auxiliary contact. The AC-3e rating extends that to energy-efficient IE3/IE4 motors with higher inrush.
Where it fits and how it mounts
The IP20 finger-safe enclosure means it's intended for installation inside a control cabinet, not exposed to washdown or outdoor conditions. Depth is 93 mm, height 77 mm — check clearance against the enclosure door or adjacent devices.
