The LX1D8L6 is a replacement coil for the TeSys D contactor range, wound for 208 V AC at 60 Hz. It's the part that pulls the contactor in — when this coil opens, the main poles close. Rated for 300 VA inrush at 0.8 power factor and 22 VA holding at 0.3 PF, both at 68 °F (20 °C). That inrush figure is what the control transformer and the PLC output driving it need to handle; the hold-in draw is what the contactor consumes once sealed.
Fit and operating range
Control circuit voltage limits are 0.85 to 1.1 Uc at up to 131 °F (55 °C), so the coil will pick up reliably at 176.8 V AC and must not see more than 228.8 V AC. Coil resistance is 67.92 Ω at 68 °F (20 °C) — useful for verifying the coil hasn't shorted before you bolt it in. The control circuit connector accepts 1 to 4 mm² flexible or solid wire, with a tightening torque of 1.2 N·m (10.6 lbf·in).
