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.

Prolong the lifespan of your industrial motor with this contactor from Schneider Electric. It reduces the risk of electrical arcing on your equipment by acting as a middleman to make or break the power supply. This prevents damage from electrical surges and impulses. As it falls into the AC-4, AC-1 and AC-3 utilization categories, this piece of kit is a handy multitasker that you can use for various operations on squirrel cage motors and with resistive loads, including starting, plugging and inching.

• Compact dimensions of 77 (H) x 45 (W) x 86mm (D) for space-efficient installation in confined setups
• IP20 rating shows that it's finger-safe as it withstands objects larger than 12mm
• Power rating of 5.5kW makes it suitable for heavy-duty applications
• DIN rail mounting is simple and tool-free, saving time and hassle

• Transportation industry
• Robotics and automation systems
• Process and packaging equipment

This unit can perform optimally for up to 15 million operating cycles, so you can rely on it for long-term performance.
