The Schneider Electric LC1E95Q5 is a three-pole EasyPact TVS contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 95 A in AC-3 utilisation category at ≤440 V, with a 380 V AC coil. The 95 A AC-3 rating means it can handle the inrush and running current of a motor load up to that level — the rating that governs real-world motor switching, not the higher AC-1 resistive current.
Mounts on a plate or DIN rail. Dimensions are 127 mm high, 85 mm wide, 121 mm deep — standard panel footprint for this class. The IP2X finger protection means the contactor body is safe from accidental contact in an open panel, but it is not sealed against dust or moisture; keep it inside a cabinet with a higher enclosure rating. The TH protective treatment (pollution degree 3) conforms to IEC 60068-2-30, so it handles condensation and humidity cycles typical in non-climate-controlled industrial enclosures.
Environmental and mechanical limits
Operates at -5 to 55 °C ambient, stores at -60 to 80 °C. No derating needed up to 3000 m altitude — useful for high-altitude installations where air-insulated gear loses margin. Vibration resistance: 1.5 Gn contacts open, 3 Gn closed; shock: 6 Gn open, 7 Gn closed. The non-overlap time of 1.5 ms guaranteed between NC and NO contacts on both energisation and de-energisation ensures safe break-before-make in reversing or interlocking circuits.
