The LX1D8R6 is a replacement coil for the TeSys Deca contactor range, specifically wound for 440 V AC 60 Hz control circuits. It mates with the 115 A contactor frame — the LX1D8 device short name tells you the mechanical platform. No built-in suppressor module means you supply the RC snubber or varistor externally if the application demands it.
Electrical and thermal profile
Inrush power hits 300 VA at 60 Hz (cos φ 0.8), then settles to 22 VA hold-in (cos φ 0.3). The coil resistance measures 338.51 Ω at 68 °F (20 °C), and closed-circuit inductance is 22.26 H. Heat dissipation runs 3 to 8 W at 60 Hz — enough to consider ventilation if the contactor is densely packed on a DIN rail.
Operating limits and durability
The coil holds in from 0.85 to 1.1 Uc at 60 Hz and drops out between 0.3 and 0.6 Uc at 60 Hz (below 131 °F / 55 °C). Ambient operating range is 23 to 140 °F (-5 to 60 °C). Maximum mechanical switching rate is 2400 cycles per hour at 140 °F (60 °C), with an 8-million-cycle mechanical life — a solid figure for frequent cycling in conveyor or pump control.
