Replacement coil for TeSys contactors
The LX1LC085 is a replacement coil from the TeSys range, designed for Schneider Electric contactors that require a 85 V AC 50 Hz / 100 V AC 60 Hz control circuit voltage. It is listed as a world service part under category 18402, meaning it is stocked as a field-replaceable component for installed contactor bases. Coil resistance measures 23.424 Ohm ±10%, and the closed-circuit inductance is 0.107 mH. These values let you verify the coil matches the contactor's drive circuit before installation — particularly important when replacing a coil in an existing panel where the control transformer or PLC output card has a specific current budget.
Power draw and inrush
Power consumption is specified as 12 to 18 VA sealed at 60 Hz, with an inrush of 170 to 230 VA at 0.55 power factor, also at 60 Hz. The inrush figure matters for sizing the control transformer: a single coil pull-in can draw over 200 VA momentarily, so a transformer feeding multiple contactors needs headroom for simultaneous pick-up.
For a BOM freeze or panel retrofit, confirm the control voltage matches the existing circuit — 85 V AC 50 Hz or 100 V AC 60 Hz — before committing the line item.
