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.

Ramp up productivity with this 3-pole contactor from Schneider Electric's TeSys D range. The device has the muscle to switch high-current systems on and off to improve the performance of your motor starter. With a lifespan of 20 years, it's a sustainable and long-lasting power supply solution for mechanical and electrical controls. Built-in auxiliary contacts add more oomph to increase electricity flows and boost high-frequency switching capabilities. The small unit has dimensions of 77 (L) x 45 (W) x 84mm (D), so easily squeezes into tight spaces on busy panels or rails.

• Screw connections achieve a firm, vibration-proof hold
• IP20-rated unit is touch-safe to help reduce electric shocks
• Bi-directional peak limiting diode protects the coil for better durability
• Wide operating temperature range between -5°C and +60°C for use in harsh conditions

• Automated factory processes
• Medical systems
• Electrical installations
• Lighting systems
• Access control

These refer to utilisation or application categories. You can use the first with applications with a power factor of at least 0.95 such as resistive loads. This unit supports AC3 motors that still run after operations end.
