The Schneider Electric LC1F2254E7 is a TeSys F 4-pole contactor rated for 315 A in AC-1 utilisation category (resistive loads) at ≤440 V, with a 48 V AC 40-400 Hz control coil. It carries IEC 60947-4-1 and EN 60947-4-1 approvals, meaning it meets the international standard for contactors and motor-starters — the core certification for panel builders and OEMs specifying this class of power switching.
The headline figure is 315 A rated operational current in AC-1 duty — that's the resistive load rating, not the motor-switching (AC-3) figure. The control coil draws 1070 VA inrush and 9.9 VA hold-in at 48 V AC, 40-400 Hz; the drop-out voltage range (0.2 to 0.55 Uc) means the contactor releases reliably when control voltage dips below about 26 V. Mechanical durability is 10 Mcycles, so it's built for high-cycle applications like conveyors or packaging lines where the contactor cycles thousands of times per hour (max 2400 cyc/h at 55 °C).
The manufacturer has marked the LC1F2254E7 as end-of-life (EOL). For BOM lines that require this exact code, procurement should plan for last-time-buy or surplus-channel sourcing. No production-status claim is made beyond the EOL designation.
The contactor is designed for plate mounting (not DIN rail). Dimensions are 208.5 mm wide, 197 mm high, 181 mm deep — a substantial footprint that requires panel space planning. Power circuit connections use bar, lug-ring, or bolted terminals accepting up to 185 mm² cable or 32 x 4 mm busbar; control circuit connections are screw-clamp terminals accepting 1 to 4 mm² flexible or solid wire. Tightening torque for the power circuit is 35 N.m, control circuit 1.2 N.m. The IP20 front-face protection (with shrouds) is standard for enclosed panels; no washdown rating.
