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.

TeSys Deca contactor, 4 poles (2NO+2NC), for non-inductive load applications up to 40A/690V AC-1. They can be used to create motor starters for almost any type of application. It provides a 110V 50/60Hz AC coil, 1NO+1NC built-in auxiliary contacts (NC mirror certified), connection by screw clamp terminals. For operating rates until 3600 cycles/hour and environments until 60°C, it procures high reliability and durability. Compact (45mm width), DIN-rail mounting or screw fixing. Power contacts have a 40A resistive load rating. Multi standards certified (IEC, UL, CSA, CCC, EAC, Marine), Green Premium compliant (RoHS/REACh). Contactor has one normally open and one normally closed auxiliary contact built-in as standard. The NC contact is mirror certified. Screw clamp terminals are used for load and auxiliary connections. An extensive line of accessories makes it easy to meet the requirements of most applications. The contactor is 4.13 inches tall, 1.77 inches wide and 3.90 inches deep. It weighs 0.94 lbs. Contactor is certified to UL, CSA, IEC, CCC, EAC and Marine standards. Contactor also meets the requirements of RoHS/REACh making it a Green Premium product.

• Power loss of just 3.2W per pole, making for energy-efficient appliance control
• Comes with a protective cover to shield sensitive components against impacts
• Connections are made with secure screw terminals, so sudden movements won't pull the plug
• Simple DIN rail mounting for quick and tool-free installation

• Motor starters
• Water treatment facilities
• Oil and gas industry

This product lasts for around 1.4 million electrical cycles, so you can rely on it for long-lasting equipment control.
