The Schneider Electric LC1E3201B7 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 32 A in AC-3 duty at up to 440 V — that is the motor-switching current, so it handles a 3-phase induction motor drawing that full-load current. The 24 V AC coil (50/60 Hz) pulls in the main contacts; the built-in 1NC auxiliary contact gives you a feedback signal for the PLC or a holding-circuit interlock without adding a separate block.
The IP2X finger-safe front means it can sit in a panel with other live gear without extra shrouding. Depth is 86 mm, so check clearance to the backplane or door-mounted devices.
Switching performance and safety timing
That matters when the contactor is used in a safety circuit or reversing starter: it prevents a momentary short across the power poles during the transition.
Environmental and compliance profile
Rated for operation from -5 °C to 55 °C ambient, with storage from -60 °C to 80 °C. Standards compliance covers EN/IEC 60947-1, -4-1, -5-1, and GB/T equivalents — accepted for CE-marked and CCC-marked installations.
