Product details

That last bit matters: if your existing contactor has a coil surge suppressor wired across the terminals, you either keep it or add one externally. The coil itself is rated for 5 Mcycles mechanical life and can cycle at 1200 operations per hour at 55 °C, which covers most conveyor and pump duty cycles without derating.

160 V AC control voltage is the coil's pick-up and hold rating — not the contactor's main power side. If your panel runs 120 V control circuits, this coil won't pull in reliably; you need the 120 V variant in the LX1F family. The 50/60 Hz rating means it works on either line frequency, so no worry about swapping between 50 Hz and 60 Hz plants. No built-in suppressor means you've got to manage the flyback spike externally — a standard RC snubber across the coil terminals does it. Mechanical durability of 5 Mcycles is the rated life before the coil or its plunger mechanism wears out; at 1200 cycles an hour that's roughly 4000 hours of continuous cycling, which is plenty for intermittent-start applications but not for a high-speed pick-and-place machine running 24/7.

Frequently asked questions

What is the control voltage and frequency for this coil?

160 V AC at 50/60 Hz. That's the pickup and hold voltage for the contactor's magnetic circuit, not the main power contacts.

Does this coil include a built-in surge suppressor?

No — it's the 'without built-in suppressor module' variant. If your application needs suppression, you add an external RC snubber or varistor across the coil terminals.

What is the mechanical life rating?

5 million cycles mechanical durability, with a maximum operating rate of 1200 cycles per hour at 55 °C.
