The LC1E80F5 is a 3-pole Easy TeSys contactor rated 80 A in AC-3 duty at ≤440 V — that's the motor-switching current for squirrel-cage induction motors, not the resistive-heater current. The 110 V AC coil draws from a control transformer or line voltage; verify the coil pickup and dropout against your control supply's sag under load. The utilisation categories are AC-3, AC-3e, and AC-1. AC-3e is an energy-efficient motor variant with reduced contact erosion during light-load switching. If your application is a standard induction motor, AC-3 is the rating to size against. For resistive loads like heaters or lighting, the AC-1 thermal current applies — but the datasheet doesn't list a separate AC-1 ampacity, so treat the AC-3 80 A as the conservative limit for any load type unless you have the full thermal curve.
Mounts on either a DIN rail or a plate — the 85 mm width and 127 mm height fit a standard 4-module DIN-rail footprint. IP2X finger protection means the contactor is safe for open-panel mounting but not washdown; keep it inside a cabinet rated for the environment. The non-overlap time between NC and NO contacts is guaranteed at 1.5 ms on both energisation and de-energisation. That matters for safety circuits or reversing starters where you need to ensure the NC break before the NO make — a 1.5 ms window is tight but repeatable per the standard.
The TH protective treatment (pollution degree 3 per IEC 60068-2-30) means it withstands humid, condensing environments — suitable for non-condensing indoor panels in temperate climates. Operating altitude is 3000 m without derating, so it's fine for most installations up to moderate elevations. Fire resistance tested to 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1. The lifecycle status is active per the manufacturer — this is a current-production part, not an end-of-life or NRND item.
