Overview
The LE1M35Q716 is a Schneider TeSys LE enclosed DOL starter rated for 11.5 A at 4000 W in AC-3 duty, with a 380 V AC coil and IP65 enclosure. It integrates a contactor, earth and neutral terminals, and a thermal overload relay in an ABS housing, with push-button start/stop and a yellow LED operating indicator.
Sizing and selection
Compared to the LE1M35Q714 (8 A, 3000 W), the LE1M35Q716 handles a higher motor current and power, making it the correct choice when the load exceeds 8 A or 3000 W. The 380 V AC coil distinguishes it from the LE1M35P716 (230 V AC coil); verify control voltage before ordering.
Lifecycle and sourcing
Schneider lists the LE1M35Q716 as discontinued; remaining units are sourced through surplus and broker channels. For new builds, confirm availability via RFQ; the LE1M35Q714 (8 A) or LE1M35Q721 (14 A) may serve as alternative ratings within the same form factor.
