The Schneider LC1E38008M7IN is a 4-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 60 A in AC-1 utilisation category (resistive loads) at up to 415 V, with a 220 V coil. The four poles are configured as 2 normally open and 2 normally closed, giving you both make and break contacts in one device — useful for switching resistive heater banks or lighting circuits where you need to isolate both sides of the load. The operating temperature range is -5 to 55 °C, with storage from -60 to 80 °C, and it's certified to EN/IEC 60947-1, -4-1, and -5-1 as well as the Chinese GB/T equivalents.
The 60 A AC-1 rating is the key figure: it's the continuous resistive-load current the main poles can carry. AC-1 is the least stressful duty cycle (no inrush), so don't use this rating to size for motor starting (AC-3) or mixed loads. The 220 V coil is standard for many European and Asian control circuits — verify your control voltage matches before specifying. Physical fit is straightforward: 56 mm wide, 64 mm tall, 93 mm deep — it occupies a standard DIN-rail footprint. The TH protective treatment (pollution degree 3) and 850 °C glow-wire resistance (IEC 60695-2-1) mean it's suited for industrial environments with moderate conductive pollution, like a typical panel in a factory hall.
