Part overview and lifecycle status
The Schneider Electric LC1E80Q6 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 80 A in AC-3 and AC-3e utilisation categories at voltages up to 440 V, with a 380 V AC 60 Hz coil. It is now classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. It carries IP2X protection and is rated for operation at -5 to 55 °C, with storage from -60 to 80 °C.
The AC-3e suffix indicates enhanced electrical endurance for motor starting duty. The 380 V AC coil at 60 Hz means it is wired for line-voltage control in 380 V 60 Hz systems — common in parts of Asia and the Americas — not for 50 Hz or lower control voltages. Mounts on either a plate or DIN rail (standard 35 mm), with dimensions 85 mm wide × 127 mm high × 121 mm deep. Rated for operation up to 3000 m altitude without derating, with TH treatment for pollution degree 3 environments (condensation and high humidity).
Sourcing reality for an obsolete part
For a BOM line or maintenance spare, this means the part must be sourced on a case-by-case basis. A buyer should provide the exact coil voltage (380 V AC 60 Hz) and the 80 A AC-3 rating to any sourcing inquiry, as these are the critical fit parameters that a substitute must match. No pin-compatible alternative is documented in the available records.
