The Schneider Electric LC1E3201U5 is an Easy TeSys 3-pole contactor rated for 32 A in AC-3 duty at up to 440 V, with a 240 V AC coil. It handles motor switching and resistive loads, and meets EN/IEC 60947-4-1 for motor starters and EN/IEC 60947-5-1 for control circuit devices. The AC-3e category means it's tested for electrical endurance on motor loads — the 'e' suffix indicates enhanced performance under IEC 60947-4-1 Annex A, so it's a solid fit for standard three-phase induction motors up to about 15 kW at 400 V.
The IP2X finger protection means it's safe for open panel mounting where accidental contact is possible. Rated for operation at -5 to 55 °C ambient, storage from -60 to 80 °C, and full rated current up to 3000 m altitude without derating.
Switching performance and mechanicals
Mechanical robustness: survives 3 Gn vibration (contacts closed) and 10 Gn shocks for 11 ms, so it's fine on a machine frame or conveyor section.
