No built-in suppressor — plan for it
This coil ships without a built-in suppressor module. On an AC coil driving an inductive load, the back-EMF spike at drop-out can couple noise into adjacent 24 VDC control wiring — it's noise till proven otherwise. Fit an external RC snubber or MOV across the coil terminals, or use the TeSys LA4 series suppressor module. The 8 W heat dissipation at rated voltage means the coil runs warm; ensure ventilation around the contactor in a densely packed panel.
Operating time and thermal limits
Opening time spans 100 to 170 ms; closing time is 40 to 65 ms. That's on the slower side for a contactor coil — fine for motor starting or resistive load switching, but not for fast cyclic applications. Maximum operating rate is 2400 cycles per hour at 55 °C, which works out to one operation every 1.5 seconds.
No official successor exists because none is needed; the LX1FH0322 remains the standard replacement coil for the LX1F contactor frame at 32 V AC.
