The LX4FL045 is a replacement contactor coil from the Schneider TeSys range, designed for DC low-consumption control circuits at 45 V DC. It is not a complete contactor — it is the coil assembly that mounts onto the FK-style contactor frame. The operating time is 40 to 50 ms for opening and 60 to 70 ms for closing, which matters when sequencing contactors in a motor starter or reversing circuit where timing overlap must be controlled.
Control voltage and coil limits
Rated for 45 V DC control voltage, this coil drops out between 0.2 and 0.35 Uc (9 to 15.75 V DC) and operates reliably from 0.85 to 1.1 Uc (38.25 to 49.5 V DC) at 55 °C. If your control supply sags below 38 V DC under load, the contactor may drop out unexpectedly — verify your DC bus regulation, especially in long cable runs or shared power supplies. The coil ships without a built-in suppressor module, so you must add a freewheeling diode or RC snubber across the coil terminals to protect the PLC output or relay driving it.
Operating temperature range
Rated for ambient air operation from -5 to 55 °C (23 to 131 °F). If your panel ambient exceeds 55 °C, this coil is not suitable without derating or forced cooling.
