Product details

The LX4FK400: Coil technology is 'without built-in suppressor module' — no internal flyback diode or RC snubber. Add an external free-wheeling diode across the coil terminals to protect the DC control circuit from the inductive kick when the contactor drops out.

Control circuit voltage is 400 V DC, with operational limits of 0.85 to 1.1 Uc at 131 °F (55 °C). Dropout voltage sits at 0.2 to 0.35 Uc — the coil releases the armature when the control voltage falls below that range. Opening time is 45 to 60 ms; closing time is 50 to 60 ms. The maximum operating rate is 2400 cycles per hour at 131 °F (55 °C). Inrush power hits 1100 W at 68 °F (20 °C), then drops to 6 W holding. Average inrush resistance is 225 ohms; holding resistance jumps to 31,300 ohms. That large ratio is typical of DC economizer circuits — the coil pulls hard to close the contactor, then shifts to a low-power hold. The inductance of the closed circuit is 5270 H, which is high; the external free-wheeling diode must handle the stored energy when the coil de-energizes. Electrical life will be lower depending on the switched current and duty cycle.

Frequently asked questions

What range and category does the LX4FK400 belong to?

It is part of the TeSys range, specifically category '18401-WORLD SERVICE PARTS (CTR ACCESS)' — which covers service parts and control accessories for the TeSys contactor family. The device short name is LX4FK.

Does the LX4FK400 include a built-in suppression diode?

No. The coil technology is listed as 'without built-in suppressor module.' You must install an external free-wheeling diode (e.g., 1N4007) across the coil terminals to suppress the inductive voltage spike when the coil de-energizes.
