The Schneider LP1D65008BD is a TeSys Deca contactor rated for 80 A in AC-1 resistive duty, with 4 poles and a DC coil that includes a built-in bidirectional peak limiting diode suppressor — no external flyback diode needed. Mechanical durability hits 10 Mcycles; electrical durability at rated load is 1.5 Mcycles.
AC-1 utilisation category limits this contactor to resistive loads only — not for motor starting or inductive switching. The 80 A rating is continuous at 440 V. If your panel runs heating elements, lighting banks, or transformer primaries that stay within resistive inrush, this part is on-spec. The 4-pole frame (2 NO + 2 NC) suits three-phase plus neutral or dual independent load circuits. Coil suppression is already inside the contactor — the bidirectional peak limiting diode cuts EMI and protects the DC driver circuit. The control circuit operates on DC only; no AC coil variant here. Rated making and breaking capacity is 1000 A at 440 V for the power circuit, per IEC 60947.
Mounting and wiring note
Mounts on plate or rail. Screw-clamp terminals on power and control circuits; torque spec is 70.8 lbf·in (8 N·m) for power conductors up to 25 mm² flexible with ferrule, and 15.05 lbf·in (1.7 N·m) for control wiring. Accepts solid or stranded copper. The IP20 front face keeps fingers out but doesn't seal against washdown. Pollution degree 3 environment — okay for most control panels unless exposure to conductive dust is extreme.
