The Schneider Electric LC1E95B7 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 95 A in AC-3 utilisation category at ≤440 V. That AC-3 rating means it's designed for starting and stopping squirrel-cage induction motors — the most common motor load in industrial panels. The 24 V AC coil keeps control voltage low for safety, but watch the inrush: AC coils pull higher peak current than DC equivalents, so size your control transformer accordingly.
IP2X protection means finger-safe from the front but not sealed; keep it inside a cabinet rated for the environment.
Ratings that matter for the buyer's decision
Beyond the headline 95 A AC-3, this contactor also carries an AC-1 rating for resistive loads — useful if you're switching heaters or lighting banks where the load current stays steady. The AC-3e rating covers enhanced motor starting with reduced electrical wear.
Operates at full rating up to 3000 m altitude without derating — good for high-altitude plants or mining sites. Vibration resistance of 3 Gn closed and 1.5 Gn open, plus shock tolerance of 7 Gn closed and 6 Gn open, means it holds in on vibrating machinery like compressors or conveyors. Ambient temperature range of -20 to 70 °C at the coil covers most indoor industrial environments, with storage down to -60 °C.
Also meets GB/T 14048 series for Chinese market acceptance, and EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and -2-40 Annex JJ for appliance and HVAC applications. Protective treatment TH conforming to IEC 60068-2-30 means it withstands damp heat — suitable for non-condensing humid environments.
