Product details

It carries a rated operational current of 50 A at ≤415 V AC for the power circuit, meaning it's sized for heater banks, lighting, or other non-inductive loads where the current curve stays close to resistive. The 415 V AC 50 Hz control coil is a wide-range AC type, so it holds in across a band of supply variation — drop-out happens between 0.3 and 0.6 Uc, and pick-up between 0.7 and 1.25 Uc at -5 to 55 °C. Pole configuration is 4 NO with no auxiliary contacts built in — if you need N/C aux or signalling, you'll add a separate block. Screw clamp terminals accept up to 10 mm² solid or flexible with ferrule on the power side, and up to 4 mm² on the control side.

That is not a motor rating — AC-1 covers resistive loads where the power factor is near unity, so the contactor sees lower arc stress than AC-3 motor duty. The associated fuse recommendation is 63 A gG at ≤690 V coordination type 1 for the power circuit, which tells the panel builder what upstream protection to pair with it for a type-1 short-circuit coordination. Rated breaking capacity is 304 A at 440 V, and rated making capacity is 380 A at 440 V AC, both per IEC 60947-4-1. That means the contactor can close onto and interrupt fault currents well above its continuous rating — important for withstanding occasional overloads or short-circuits until the upstream fuse clears. Electrical durability is 350,000 cycles under AC-1, and mechanical durability is 8 million cycles, so in a low-cycle resistive switching application (like a furnace or oven), the electrical life is the limiting factor, not the mechanical one. The IP20 finger-safe enclosure suits panel-mount use where the contactor is behind a cabinet door.

The contactor complies with EN/IEC 60947-1, EN/IEC 60947-4-1, and EN/IEC 60947-5-1, plus the Chinese GB/T equivalents. Operating altitude is rated to 3,000 m without derating.

Tightening torque is 1.2 N·m for control circuit terminals and 2.1 N·m for power circuit terminals — use a torque screwdriver to avoid crushing the conductor or loosening over time. Mechanical robustness is specified: vibrations at 1.5 Gn (contact open) and 3 Gn (closed) over 5–300 Hz, and shocks at 6 Gn (open) and 10 Gn (closed) for 11 ms — adequate for industrial machinery with moderate vibration.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative in the Easy TeSys family?

Within the Easy TeSys Control range, the closest peer would be a 4-pole contactor with a different coil voltage or current rating. The LC1E38004N5WBIN is the variant with a 415 V AC 50 Hz coil and 50 A AC-1 rating — the deciding factor for an alternative is matching the control voltage and the resistive load current at your line voltage.

What is the depth of the LC1E38004N5WBIN?

The depth is 93 mm, with a width of 56 mm and height of 84 mm, making it a compact 4-pole contactor for DIN rail or plate mounting.

What standards does the LC1E38004N5WBIN comply with?

It complies with EN/IEC 60947-1, EN/IEC 60947-4-1, EN/IEC 60947-5-1, and the Chinese GB/T 14048.1, 14048.4, and 14048.5 standards. Fire resistance is tested to 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1, and protective treatment is TH per IEC 60068 for tropical environments.

What wire sizes does the LC1E38004N5WBIN accept?

Power circuit screw clamp terminals accept 1 to 10 mm² solid or flexible with cable end, and 1.5 to 10 mm² solid. Control circuit terminals accept 1 to 4 mm² for solid or flexible without cable end, and 1 to 2.5 mm² for flexible with cable end.
