The LC1E95M5 is a 3-pole EasyPact TVS contactor rated 95 A in AC-3 duty at ≤ 440 V, which is the motor-switching current category per EN/IEC 60947-4-1. That 95 A figure governs the maximum full-load current of a three-phase induction motor it can switch — not the resistive heating rating. For resistive loads (AC-1), the contactor carries a higher current, but for motor control the AC-3 number is the one that decides fit. The 220 V AC coil means the pull-in and hold voltage is standard line-to-neutral on a 220/380 V system or phase-to-phase on a 220 V delta supply. Mounts on DIN rail or a backplate, so it fits standard panel layouts. The 85 mm width and 127 mm height are compact for a 95 A frame — leaves room for auxiliary blocks alongside without crowding the gland plate. Rated for operation up to 3000 m altitude without derating, which covers most industrial sites and high-altitude installations without needing to downrate the current.
Integration notes
Mechanical robustness: the contactor withstands 3 Gn vibration when closed and 7 Gn shock when closed, which is sufficient for most conveyor and pump applications but not for direct engine-mount duty. The 10 MOhm insulation resistance on the power circuit at 500 VDC is the standard figure for a new contactor; expect it to drop with age and contamination, which is why periodic insulation testing is part of the maintenance schedule.
