The LP1D65004MW: The 4-pole configuration (4P) with AC-1 rating at 80 A means it handles resistive heating loads or general-purpose switching where inrush is low — not motor starting, despite the AC-3 listing in the utilisation category. The 220 V DC coil pulls steady DC; verify your control transformer or power supply delivers clean 220 VDC at the coil's pick-up current, not just the hold-in value. Dimensions are 182 mm deep, 85 mm wide, 127 mm tall — it mounts on a plate or DIN rail (mounting support listed as plate/rail). The 85 mm width is a standard 4-pole Deca footprint, so it occupies one full 4-pole slot on a DIN rail assembly. IP2X finger protection per IEC 60529 means the contactor body keeps casual contact out, but it's not sealed against dust or washdown. Non-overlap time of 1.5 ms on both energisation and de-energisation between NC and NO contacts is a safety-relevant spec — it ensures a break-before-make gap, preventing momentary shorting across poles in reversing or interlocking circuits. This matters for control schemes where two contactors share a common load and must never overlap.
Standards compliance and environmental limits
Certified to VDE 0660, IEC 60947-1, IEC 60947-4-1, EN 60947-4-1, BS 5424, JEM 1038, and NF C 63-110 — covers European, UK, Japanese, and French standards for contactors and motor starters. Fire resistance rated 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1, with UL 94 V-1 flame retardance on the housing. Storage range extends from -60 to +80 °C. Operating altitude is 3000 m without derating — above that, air density affects arc extinction and thermal dissipation.
Sourcing reality for an obsolete 4-pole contactor
The LP1D65004MW is officially obsolete per Schneider's lifecycle status. Sourcing goes through independent surplus channels; quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ. Condition varies — new-in-box sealed stock exists, but verify the date code and coil voltage before committing to a BOM line.
