On coil energisation the mechanical latch is engaged & holds the armature closed.This feature enables the contactors state to be maintained when re-starting after an interrupted cycle & allows power consumption reduction by enabling de-energisation of the contactor coil.

Remotely actuated or by front panel button
Electrical delatching pulse must be greater than 100ms
Front mounting

The unlatch coil & the contactor or relay must not be energised simultaneously. Maximum on time is 30 seconds (not continuously rated). Maximum operation frequency is 36 per hour.

Keen to ensure steady power gets to your equipment? Count on this contactor latching block from Schneider Electric. When the coil receives electrical energy, this unit snaps into action and holds the armature closed, so it automatically restarts your equipment after a drop in system voltage. As the contactor stays on even when the coil is de-energised, this handy piece of kit helps to minimise power consumption. To get the upper hand in the event of a system shutdown, you can flip the built-in toggle switch to manually unlatch it.

• Robust lifespan of 500,000 cycles for long-lasting operation
• Control circuit voltage range between 110 and 127V AC/DC for broad compatibility
• Maximum operating rate of 1200 cycles per hour for speedy switching

• Agricultural equipment
• Automotive manufacturing
• Conveyor systems
• Food production

This block is compatible with multiple contactors from the LC1 series, making it a versatile option.

For assembly in a snap, you can mount this latching block by simply clipping it to the front of your contactor.
