The Schneider Electric LX1D2P5 is a replacement contactor coil from the TeSys D range, part of the LX1D2 device family. It is designed for 230 V AC 50 Hz control circuits and mates with 9 to 18 A TeSys D contactors. The coil draws 60 VA inrush at 50 Hz (cos φ 0.75) and holds at 7 VA (cos φ 0.3), both measured at 68 °F (20 °C). The closed-circuit inductance is 25 H, and the average DC resistance is 649.7 Ω at the same temperature. Operational voltage limits are 0.8 to 1.1 Uc at 50 Hz, up to 131 °F (55 °C). The coil has no built-in suppressor module — an external RC snubber or varistor should be added across the coil terminals if driving from a PLC output or electronic controller.
What to verify before ordering
This coil is AC 50 Hz only — it will not hold in on a 60 Hz supply or DC control voltage. The 230 V rating is nominal; the 0.8 to 1.1 Uc operating range means it drops out below roughly 184 V and may overheat above 253 V. Because the coil lacks a built-in suppressor, any inductive kickback when de-energizing must be managed externally. A standard RC snubber (0.1 µF + 100 Ω) across the coil terminals protects nearby electronics and extends contactor life.
