What this coil is for
It is the control-side component that pulls in the contactor's main poles — when this coil fails, the contactor drops out, so it is a common spare for panel maintenance. No built-in suppressor module, so plan for external RC snubber or varistor across the coil terminals if driving from a PLC output or if the contactor switches inductive loads nearby.
Mechanical endurance and operating rate
Rated for 5 Mcycles mechanical durability, which is standard for a TeSys D-series coil — this is the mechanical life of the coil plunger and armature, not the contactor's electrical endurance under load. Maximum operating rate of 1200 cycles per hour at 55 °C means it can cycle every 3 seconds continuously at that temperature; derate for higher ambient or if the contactor is switching heavy loads that generate additional heat inside the enclosure.
Listed as current production — this is an active catalog item, not a phase-out or NRND part. It is a standard spare that moves steadily through MRO channels; expect it to be a stocked line at most Schneider distributors. If you are freezing a BOM for a new panel design, this coil is a safe choice with no imminent obsolescence risk.
Integration note
Snaps onto the contactor base — no tools needed for the coil change. The 60 V AC coil draws its control power from a separate control transformer or a 60 V tap; verify the control circuit is AC (not DC) before wiring. The absence of a built-in suppressor means the coil's inductive kickback is unfiltered — if your PLC output card or relay driving this coil is rated for inductive loads at 60 V AC, you are fine; otherwise fit a suppressor across the coil terminals.
