The Schneider Electric LC1E40Q5 is a three-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 40 A in AC-3 duty at ≤440 V — meaning it handles motor switching up to that current, plus resistive loads (AC-1) and AC-3e applications. The 380 V AC 50 Hz coil pulls in reliably across the rated control voltage band. The 75 mm width and 127 mm height keep it compact for multi-contactor assemblies.
For resistive loads, the AC-1 category applies, though the exact current isn't listed here; typical derating from AC-3 to AC-1 is roughly 1.5×, but verify against the full datasheet for your specific load. Altitude rating of 3000 m without derating covers most installations; above that, standard IEC derating applies.
Also passes the glow-wire test at 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1, and meets the appliance standard EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and EN/IEC 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for heating and air-conditioning equipment. IP2X finger protection on the contactor body.
