The Schneider Electric LC1E40008M7IN is a 4-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, configured 2NO+2NC, rated for AC-1 resistive loads up to 72 A at ≤415 V with a 220 V coil. The part is now listed as obsolete by the manufacturer.
The AC-1 utilisation category means this contactor is rated for switching resistive loads — heaters, lighting banks, or similar non-inductive circuits — not motor starting. The 72 A rating at ≤415 V is the thermal current (Ith) for that duty. The 4-pole arrangement with 2 normally-open and 2 normally-closed contacts gives flexibility for load/control isolation in one package. Storage tolerance extends to -60 to 80 °C. Mechanical robustness is specified for vibration (1.5 Gn open, 3 Gn closed) and shock (6 Gn open, 7 Gn closed) per IEC 60068 — adequate for most fixed industrial machinery but not for mobile equipment or high-vibration applications like presses.
The contactor is designed to EN/IEC 60947-1, -4-1, and -5-1, plus the Chinese GB/T equivalents 14048.1, 14048.4, and 14048.5.
The LC1E40008M7IN is marked obsolete by Schneider Electric. The buyer should verify that the 4P 2NO+2NC configuration and AC-1 72 A rating match the application before committing the BOM line.
