Lifecycle status and sourcing reality
The LX1D2L6: This coil is a replacement part for TeSys D contactors in the 9 to 18 A frame — a common line-down spare in older panels. Sourcing is confirmed per RFQ; availability and pricing are verified at quote time through our independent distribution network.
Coil ratings and fit for the contactor
This voltage tolerance ensures reliable pick-up even on a lightly loaded control transformer. Inrush power is 70 VA at 60 Hz (cos φ 0.75), dropping to 7.5 VA hold-in (cos φ 0.3). The 16.6 H inductance of the closed circuit means the holding current is low, so the coil runs cool in continuous duty — important for densely packed panels where heat buildup is a concern. Average DC resistance is 417.8 Ω at 68 °F (20 °C). This is a useful check when verifying coil integrity with an ohmmeter during commissioning or troubleshooting.
Coil technology and panel integration
This coil is supplied without a built-in suppressor module. If the contactor is switched by a PLC output or a solid-state relay, an external RC snubber or varistor should be added across the coil to suppress back-EMF and protect the switching device. Part of the TeSys D range, the LX1D2L6 is a direct-fit replacement for the standard coil on 9 to 18 A TeSys D contactors. No mounting modification is needed — it clips onto the contactor magnet assembly in the same footprint as the original.
