The enclosure is polycarbonate with an IP55 rating, so it handles washdown splashes and dust ingress in industrial environments, and an IK07 impact rating means it resists mechanical shocks up to 2 J. Cable entries are 4 x Pg 13 plus 2 x Pg 16 on both top and bottom faces — no extra gland plate needed for a standard motor and control cable run. The front panel carries a white push-button for start (I), a black push-button for stop (O), and a red mushroom-head push-button for emergency stop — the kit is complete for local motor control without adding pilot devices.
Because this is a discontinued enclosed starter, the buyer's decision hinges on whether the BOM can accept the original part or must migrate. If the line is down and the replacement path is already qualified, the surplus channel is the fastest route; if the design can flex, the official successor (if one exists) avoids future obsolescence risk.
The LG7D18M7 ships as a complete enclosed DOL starter: polycarbonate enclosure with the contactor and control station integrated. What does not ship inside the box is the circuit breaker — the device composition states the circuit breaker is ordered separately, so the kit has a hole in it unless you add the matching breaker to the order. The contactor is included. Dimensions are 175 mm wide by 165 mm high by 146 mm deep — fits standard 200 mm enclosure backplate layouts with room for the separate breaker alongside.
