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.

Make light work of starting up your heavy industrial equipment with this contactor from Schneider Electric. As it switches current loads up to 40A, it takes the job of waking up your machinery off your to-do list. Thanks to a speedy operating speed between 4 and 22ms, you can count on the device to get the job done in double-quick time. Four poles mean the unit can keep up to four circuits in line at once. With its built-in auxiliary contacts, the component passes a message to your controller when it switches, so you're always in the know.

• 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.
