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.

Need a speedy and safe way of switching industrial circuits on and off? Opt for this contactor from Schneider Electric. As it meets utilisation categories up to AC-3, you can trust it suits any resistive load and is a practical pick for motor control applications up to 9A/690V AC. It works rapidly to stop or start your circuit, helping to prevent electrical issues like arcing from posing a danger to you and your equipment. Thanks to its three poles, you can use this contactor with up to three bits of connected kit, so it's a good shout if you have multiple pumps or compressors to hook up.

• IP20 rating indicates there's no shock risk if you touch it with your fingers
• 6kV AC impulse withstand voltage means it protects you and your equipment from electrical surges
• DIN rail mounting style for easy snap-on installation with no need for tools

• Industrial automation
• Lighting rigs
• Motor starting

Thanks to its low tightening torque of 1.7Nm, you'll find it's a piece of cake to wire up the screw clamp terminals by hand.
