Line-ready cycle performance
The LC1G1854BEEA: This TeSys Giga contactor closes in 40...70 ms and opens in 15...50 ms — deterministic enough to hold a 2-second takt time on a weld line. Max operating rate is 600 cycles/h in AC-3 or AC-3e duty, so it sustains continuous high-speed picking without thermal droop. Rated for 185 A in AC-3 motor switching, with an average impedance of 0.00017 Ω keeping voltage drop negligible. 8 million mechanical cycles before wear-out means fewer change-outs over the line’s life. Coil uses built-in bidirectional peak limiting — no additional snubber needed on the 24–48 V AC/DC supply. That saves a component and keeps the PLC output card clean.
Compliance documentation includes EN/IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, and JIS C8201-4-1. Also carries UL 60335-1 and UL 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for appliance applications.
Mounts on a plate (not DIN rail). Power circuit accepts bar 2 or busbar cross-section 25×6 mm, plus lugs up to 185 mm². Tightening torque: 159.3 lbf·in (18 N·m) on the power connections. IP2X with shrouds on the front face; vertical spacing between units is 35 mm pitch. Depth is 7.6 in (193 mm), so plan panel clearance accordingly.
