What this coil does and where it fits
The LX1D2T6 is the replacement coil for a TeSys D contactor — specifically the 480 V AC 60 Hz variant that energises the 9 to 18 A frame. It is the part you swap when the original coil opens or shorts, not the whole contactor. That means the coil pulls in reliably between 384 V and 528 V at the terminals — useful when line voltage sags under load.
Coil electrical signature — inrush vs hold
Inrush power is 70 VA at 60 Hz, cos phi 0.75; once the contactor seals, hold-in drops to 7.5 VA at cos phi 0.3. The ratio tells you the control transformer needs to deliver the inrush peak without dropping below the dropout threshold — a 100 VA control transformer on the same circuit handles this comfortably. Coil resistance measures 2304 Ohm at 20 °C, and the closed-circuit inductance is 85 H. The high inductance explains the low holding VA — the AC impedance at 60 Hz is about 32 kOhm once the armature seats. This coil ships without a built-in suppressor module. If the contactor drives an inductive load or the PLC output is a solid-state relay, you will need an external RC snubber or varistor across the coil to limit back-EMF on dropout.
The LX1D2T6 is marked obsolete by Schneider Electric. No official successor order code is listed for this specific 480 V 60 Hz coil. Availability is through independent surplus and new-old-stock channels. Quantities are confirmed at RFQ time — typical for a legacy TeSys D coil that is no longer in factory production.
