Product details

The Schneider Electric LC1E3801B6 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 38 A in AC-3/AC-3e duty at ≤440 V — meaning it switches three-phase motor loads up to that current under full-load starting conditions. The coil is 24 V AC, 60 Hz, and the contactor carries one normally-closed auxiliary contact. It is designed for motor control and resistive load switching, with utilisation categories AC-3 (squirrel-cage motors: starting, stopping, plugging), AC-3e (enhanced electrical endurance for motor loads), and AC-1 (non-inductive or slightly inductive loads).

Compliant with EN/IEC 60947-1, -4-1, -5-1 and the corresponding GB/T standards, plus EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and EN/IEC 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for appliance applications. Ambient temperature range is -20 to 70 °C at the coil, with storage from -60 to 80 °C and operation from -5 to 55 °C. Mechanical robustness includes vibration resistance of 1.5 Gn (5–300 Hz) with contacts open and 3 Gn with contacts closed, plus shock resistance of 10 Gn for 11 ms (contacts closed) and 6 Gn for 11 ms (contacts open).

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to LC1E3801B6?

No official successor order code is listed in the lifecycle record. A direct replacement would need to be evaluated against the specific application ratings (38 A AC-3, 24 V AC 60 Hz coil, 1 NC auxiliary) and panel footprint. Contact us with the application details for a cross-reference proposal.

What compliance documentation is available for LC1E3801B6?

The contactor is certified to EN/IEC 60947-1, -4-1, -5-1 and the corresponding GB/T standards, plus EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and EN/IEC 60335-2-40 Annex JJ. Fire resistance is tested to 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1. Protective treatment is TH (pollution degree 3) per IEC 60068-2-30.

What are the key ratings for this contactor?

Three-pole contactor rated 38 A in AC-3/AC-3e duty at ≤440 V. Coil is 24 V AC, 60 Hz. Includes one normally-closed auxiliary contact. Mounts on plate or DIN rail. IP2X protection.
