The Schneider Electric LC1E3210M6 is a 3-pole (3NO) contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for AC-3 and AC-3e utilisation at 32 A up to 440 V. It is designed for motor control and resistive load switching. The coil is 220 V AC at 60 Hz (compatible with 50/60 Hz supplies). A single NO auxiliary contact is integrated.
AC-3e is a more stringent version of the same duty, covering higher electrical endurance for frequent starts. The 220 V AC coil at 60 Hz pulls in reliably across the full operating range. This covers most indoor panel environments but watch for derating if the panel internal temperature exceeds 55 °C. Mounting is on a plate or DIN rail, so it fits standard 35 mm rail in a control panel. The IP2X degree of protection means it is finger-safe but not sealed against dust or moisture — it belongs inside an enclosure.
It also meets EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for appliance applications. Fire resistance is tested to 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1. Protective treatment TH (pollution degree 3) per IEC 60068-2-30 means it withstands damp heat cycling typical of tropical or non-conditioned environments.
Integration notes
Physical footprint: 86 mm deep, 56 mm wide, 84 mm tall. The non-overlap time between NC and NO contacts is guaranteed at 1.5 ms on both energisation and de-energisation — important for interlocking circuits where you need to ensure one set of contacts breaks before the other makes. Mechanical robustness: withstands 1.5 Gn vibration (5-300 Hz) when open, 3 Gn when closed, and 10 Gn shock for 11 ms.
