The LX9FL916 is a specific contactor coil from the TeSys F range, designed as a field-replaceable coil for TeSys F contactors. It operates on a 38...41 V DC control circuit and draws 48 W holding power, with an inrush of 733 W at 20 °C. The coil has no built-in suppressor module — if your application requires flyback suppression, you add it externally.
The 38...41 V DC control voltage is tight — operational limits are 0.85...1.1 Uc at 55 °C, so the supply must stay between roughly 32 V and 45 V DC. Drop-out occurs at 0.3...0.5 Uc (about 11...20 V DC), which means the coil releases reliably on a sagging supply. Opening time is 60 ms, closing 20 ms — fast enough for most motor switching but not for high-speed cycling above 1800 cycles/hour at 70 °C. Heat dissipation runs 22.8...27.8 W continuously. In a closed panel with multiple contactors, that adds up — account for the thermal load in your enclosure sizing. Mechanical durability is 5 million cycles, so the coil itself is not the wear-out item in a typical motor-starting application.
