The Schneider Electric LC1E2501F5 is a 3-pole (3 NO) contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 25 A in AC-3 utilisation category at up to 440 V with a 110 V AC coil. It also carries an AC-1 rating for resistive loads (heating, lighting) and an AC-3e rating for high-efficiency motors. The coil is 110 V AC, a common control voltage in industrial panels across North America and parts of Asia. The contactor is designed for both motor control and resistive load switching.
Mounts on a plate or DIN rail (35 mm symmetrical rail per EN 60715). Depth is 85 mm — check gland-plate clearance if panel depth is tight. IP2X degree of protection means the contactor is finger-safe against accidental contact but not sealed against dust or moisture — install inside a panel with at least IP54 enclosure for washdown or outdoor environments.
Switching performance and environment
Non-overlap timing is guaranteed at 1.5 ms on both energisation and de-energisation between NC and NO contacts — this ensures break-before-make behaviour, critical for interlocking motor starters or reversing circuits where simultaneous closure would cause a phase-to-phase short. Ambient temperature range is -5 °C to 55 °C for operation, with storage from -60 °C to 80 °C. Protective treatment TH (pollution degree 3) per IEC 60068-2-30 means it withstands humid, corrosive environments typical of textile mills, food processing, or coastal installations. Mechanical robustness: the contactor stays closed under 3 Gn vibration (5–300 Hz) and open under 1.5 Gn; shock survival at 10 Gn for 11 ms (closed) and 6 Gn (open). This is enough for most industrial machinery but not for extreme mobile or military applications.
Compliant with EN/IEC 60947-1, -4-1, -5-1, and GB/T 14048 equivalents — the core standards for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear. Also meets EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 (glow-wire test) and EN/IEC 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for heat pump / air-conditioning applications. Lifecycle status is active (current production).
