The Schneider Electric LC1E2510B5 is a 3-pole (3 NO) contactor from the EasyPact TVS range, rated 25 A in AC-3 duty at ≤440 V with a 24 V AC coil. It is designed for motor control and resistive load switching, covering the AC-3, AC-3e, and AC-1 utilisation categories. The 25 A AC-3 rating means it handles the inrush of a standard three-phase induction motor up to that current — the category that governs contactor selection for most squirrel-cage motor starts. The AC-1 rating covers resistive loads like heaters at a higher current, but the AC-3 figure is the one that decides fit for motor duty.
It also meets EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and EN/IEC 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for appliance applications — useful if the contactor ends up in a packaged HVAC or refrigeration unit.
Mounts on DIN rail or plate. The 45 mm width (3-module footprint) and 85 mm depth fit standard 4-module enclosures with room for a side-mounted auxiliary block. IP2X finger protection on the front face — no additional shrouding needed for basic touch safety.
