TeSys D Contactors from Schneider Electric combine long mechanical and electrical life to offer a high reliable contactor. The range has been designed for integration in control systems and can be used to create motor starters for any type of application. The TeSys D contactors offer quick simple setup while maintaining compliance with international standards.

• Built-in auxiliary contacts for added switching capability
• Screw connections: IP20 finger-safe terminals with both North American and International terminal markings
• Can be panel mounted with screws or DIN Rail mounted
• Bidirectional peak limiting diode suppressor to protect the coil
• Easily installed accessories
• Flexible control circuit to suit a wide range of applications

Contactor utilisation categories define the current making and breaking values, based on the type of load to be controlled and the operating cycle conditions.

• AC-1: This applies to all AC devices with a power factor of at least 0.95. Example of use: resistive load, heating, distribution.


• AC-3: This applies to squirrel cage motors where breaking occurs while the motor is running. Example of use: all squirrel cage motors, lifts, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, air conditioning units.

• Auxiliary contact blocks with serrated wiping action
• Front mount dust tight auxiliary contact blocks
• Pneumatic time delay blocks
• Transient voltage surge suppressors
• Interface modules and electronic timers
• Mechanical latching blocks

Yes the Tesys D range uses linear translation movement that provides double breaking of the poles.

Flip the switch on your moving equipment with this contactor from Schneider Electric. By driving machinery rated up to 11kW, it's a safe bet for tackling intense motor-powered processes. Don't worry about delays, as the component reacts to signals in just 4 to 22ms. Heavy-duty control tasks are no problem, as it handles up to 3,600 cycles an hour. Thanks to the contactor's two built-in auxiliary contacts, it's simple to notify linked appliances and ensure seamless coordination of your machinery.

• IP20-rated front cover protects against electric shocks
• Service life of up to 1.65 million cycles, providing long-term control
• Handles voltages up to 6kV, cutting the risk of damage from power surges
• Compact body dimensions of 45 (W) x 85 (H) x 92mm (D), so easily slots into a busy enclosures

• Manufacturing industry
• Packing plants
• Industrial robotics
• Workshops

This unit clips onto a standard DIN rail, so it's simple to fit without tools. You can also screw it onto a mounting plate to suit the needs of your setup.
