The Schneider Electric LC1E50F5 is a 3-pole (3NO) contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 50 A in AC-3 utilisation category at up to 440 V. That AC-3 rating means it's sized for switching squirrel-cage induction motors — the standard duty for conveyor drives, pumps, and compressors in a control panel. The 110 V AC 50 Hz coil makes it a drop-in for existing 110 V control circuits common in older European and Asian installations. It also carries AC-1 (resistive load) and AC-3e (enhanced motor) ratings, so the same block handles heater banks or lighting contactor duty without oversizing. The 50 A AC-3 frame is a workhorse size — big enough for a 22 kW motor at 400 V, small enough to fit a 75 mm wide footprint on a DIN rail or plate.
Mounts on either a DIN rail or a mounting plate — the 75 mm width and 127 mm height fit standard panel layouts. The IP2X finger-safe front cover meets IEC 60529, so it's suitable for open-panel builds where accidental contact is a risk. Depth is 114 mm, which matters when you're stacking contactors in a shallow enclosure.
Rated for operation from -5 °C to 55 °C ambient, with storage down to -60 °C and up to 80 °C. The 3000 m operating altitude without derating is useful for high-altitude sites like mining or mountain installations.
