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.

Control your hardware's circuits in a flash with this contactor from Schneider Electric. Its current rating of 32A means it's just what you need to switch high-power equipment on and off. Thanks to a fast opening time of 4 to 19ms and a closing time of 12 to 22ms, the device gives you lightning-fast switching. You can mount it on a rail or plate for flexible installation. A mechanical durability of 15 million cycles means this is an option to count on for long-term performance.

• IP20 rating means it's touch-proof and protected against tools and wires larger than 12mm
• Screw clamp terminals for secure, vibration-proof wiring
• Compact dimensions of 91 (H) x 45 (W) x 99mm (D) for installation in crowded setups
• Wide operating temperature range between -40°C and +60°C for use in harsh environments

• Motor starters
• Industrial automation
• Automotive manufacturing

This unit achieves up to 3600 cycles per hour, so it's sure to keep up with intense switching demands.
