TeSys F 4-pole contactor, 200 A AC-1 — EOL sourcing note
The Schneider Electric LC1F1154U7 is a TeSys F 4-pole contactor rated 200 A in AC-1 utilisation category at ≤440 V, making it suited for switching resistive loads like heater banks or lighting in industrial panels. The coil is 240 V AC 40-400 Hz, with a closing time of 35 ms and opening at 130 ms at nominal voltage. This part is in end-of-life (EOL) phase per the manufacturer lifecycle status.
The 200 A AC-1 rating at ≤440 V governs resistive loads — this is not a motor-starting (AC-3) contactor. For motor duty, the AC-1 figure would derate significantly; use the part only for the utilisation category stated. The 4 NO pole configuration (4 normally open power poles) suits applications requiring four independent load circuits, each rated for the full 200 A under AC-1 conditions. Heat dissipation runs 5.9 to 7.2 W total, with 15 W per pole in AC-1 duty — factor this into enclosure thermal calculations. The contactor is plate-mounted, not DIN-rail, so panel layout must accommodate bolted fixing. Rated insulation voltage is 1000 V per IEC 60947-4-1, with an impulse withstand of 8 kV. Overvoltage category III means it is suitable for fixed-installation distribution boards. The IP2X front-face protection (with shrouds) meets IEC 60529 and VDE 0106 for finger-safe touch protection.
The LC1F1154U7 is certified to IEC 60947-4-1, EN 60947-1, EN 60947-4-1, and JIS C8201-4-1. It carries protective treatment TH for tropical environments. Ambient operating range is -40 to 60 °C, storage -60 to 80 °C, and altitude up to 3000 m without derating.
