Product details

The AC-3 rating at 40 A is the motor-switching current; the contactor also carries AC-1 (resistive load) and AC-3e categories. It complies with EN/IEC 60947-4-1, the standard for contactors and motor-starters. The non-overlap time of 1.5 ms on energisation and de-energisation between NC and NO contacts is a safety feature that prevents simultaneous closure of normally-open and normally-closed poles during transition. Mounting is on a plate or DIN rail, so it fits standard panel layouts. The operating altitude is 3000 m without derating, useful for high-altitude installations. The TH protective treatment (pollution degree 3) per IEC 60068-2-30 means it withstands humid, corrosive environments typical in industrial enclosures.

The IP2X degree of protection means it is finger-safe but not sealed against dust or moisture.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings of the LC1E40R5?

It is a 3-pole contactor rated 40 A in AC-3 at ≤440 V, with a 440 V AC 50 Hz coil. It also covers AC-1 and AC-3e utilisation categories.

What standards does the LC1E40R5 comply with?

It complies with EN/IEC 60947-1, EN/IEC 60947-4-1, EN/IEC 60947-5-1, and the Chinese GB/T 14048 series. It also passes the 850 °C glow-wire test per IEC 60695-2-1.

How do I source the LC1E40R5 if it is obsolete?

We can source it through surplus and broker channels. Submit an RFQ for a quote; no official replacement is listed, so verify fit against your existing wiring and load.
