What this coil fits and why the voltage range matters
The LX1G3QLSEN is the control coil for Schneider Electric's TeSys Giga series, specifically the LC1G115 through LC1G225 three-pole standard contactors. It accepts 200...500 V AC/DC at 50/60 Hz, so it covers both 240 V and 480 V control circuits common in North American panels without needing a separate transformer tap. The built-in bidirectional peak limiting coil technology suppresses inrush spikes — 215 W / 295 VA inrush drops to 8 W / 13 VA holding. That matters for PLC output card sizing: the holding draw is low enough to run multiple coils off a single 24 VDC supply without exceeding the card's per-channel current limit.
Panel fit and wiring — push-in terminals save time
Dimensions are 5.7 in high by 4.2 in wide by 3.7 in deep (144.5 x 105.7 x 94.0 mm). The coil clips onto the contactor base; no extra DIN rail space is consumed beyond the contactor's own footprint. Control circuit push-in terminals accept solid or stranded wire from AWG 26 to AWG 12, or flexible with ferrule from AWG 24 to AWG 14. No screwdriver needed for termination — strip, push, done. That shanks a few minutes per panel when you're wiring a dozen starters.
Environmental and compliance — what the ratings actually mean
Rated pollution degree 3 per IEC 60947-1, meaning it tolerates conductive dust and condensation typical in unsealed industrial enclosures. IP20 finger-safe housing keeps live terminals out of reach behind the panel door. Operating temperature range -13 to 140 °F (-25 to 60 °C) with storage from -76 to 176 °F. At altitudes up to 3000 m no derating is needed; above that, up to 5000 m, apply the derating factor from the datasheet. Certified to EN/IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1A, and CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1 — the three standards that govern contactor and starter coordination. EMC immunity meets IEC 60947-4-1 criteria A and SEMI F47 voltage dip immunity, which is relevant for semiconductor fab tool power quality requirements.
