The Schneider Electric Easy TeSys LC1E2510F5 is a 3-pole contactor rated for 25 A in AC-3 utilisation category at ≤440 V, with a 110 V AC coil. AC-3 is the standard duty for squirrel-cage motor starting — switching inductive loads during start-up and disconnecting under running conditions. The same contactor also carries AC-3e (enhanced electrical endurance for motor applications) and AC-1 (resistive load) ratings, so it can handle resistive heater banks or lighting circuits at a higher current if the application needs it.
For resistive loads (AC-1), the current capability is higher, but the datasheet doesn't give a separate figure here. The 110 V AC coil is standard for North American control circuits at 110-120 V; verify your control transformer matches.
Operates from -5 °C to 55 °C ambient, stores from -60 °C to 80 °C. Vibration resistance: 1.5 Gn open, 3 Gn closed (5-300 Hz); shock: 6 Gn open, 10 Gn closed (11 ms). That's enough for most industrial machinery but not extreme mobile equipment.
Compliant with EN/IEC 60947-1, -4-1, -5-1, and the corresponding GB/T standards for the Chinese market. Also listed for EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and -2-40 Annex JJ, which covers glow-wire and fire resistance for household appliances — relevant if this contactor ends up in a packaged HVAC or refrigeration unit.
