The Schneider Electric TeSys LX4FF055 is a DC low-consumption contactor coil rated at 55 V DC control voltage, designed to replace or populate the coil on TeSys FF-series contactors. It operates within 0.85 to 1.1 Uc (46.75 to 60.5 V DC) and drops out between 0.15 and 0.2 Uc (8.25 to 11 V DC) at 131 °F (55 °C). Closing time is 30 to 40 ms, opening 30 to 50 ms — fast enough for standard motor starting and general switching in control panels.
Coil resistance and suppressor note
Inrush resistance is 5.63 Ohm at 68 °F (20 °C), dropping to 967.3 Ohm holding at the same temperature. The coil ships without a built-in suppressor module — plan for an external flyback diode or RC snubber across the coil terminals if driving from a PLC or solid-state output, otherwise the inductive kick can damage the driver. Ambient operating range is -5 to 55 °C (23 to 131 °F).
