The Schneider Electric LC1E40004V7IN is a 4-pole (4 normally open) contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for AC-1 resistive loads at 72 A up to 415 V with a 400 V coil. It is now listed as obsolete, so sourcing this exact order code goes through the surplus or last-time-buy channel — no longer a standard factory-production item.
The AC-1 utilisation category means this contactor is designed for switching resistive loads — heaters, lighting banks, or other loads where the current inrush is low. At 72 A in AC-1, it handles continuous resistive current up to that level. The 400 V coil voltage is the control voltage that pulls the contactor in; verify your control circuit matches before wiring. With four normally open poles, it can switch four separate resistive circuits simultaneously, or parallel poles for higher current on a single load. Mounts on DIN rail or a plate, so it integrates into standard panel layouts.
Standards and environmental protection
Compliant with EN/IEC 60947-1, 60947-4-1, and 60947-5-1, plus the Chinese GB/T equivalents — so it meets the safety and performance standards for contactors in industrial control panels. The IP2X degree of protection means it is finger-safe against accidental contact with live parts, but not sealed against moisture or dust; install in a clean, dry enclosure. Rated for operation at altitudes up to 3000 m and ambient temperatures from -5 °C to 55 °C (storage from -60 °C to 80 °C).
This part is obsolete. For new designs, a current-production Easy TeSys contactor with similar ratings should be selected; verify the coil voltage and pole configuration against your control circuit.
