These contactors, unlike relays, are specifically designed to connect to high current load devices. Used in larger-scale applications, Schneider Electrics contactors can be controlled remotely, specifically designed to switch a large amount of electrical power through its contacts.

These contractors feature varied switching voltages, many of the range feature screw clamp or a solder termination.

• Highly reliable
• Excellent quality
• Easily installed accessories

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.

• Front mount dust tight auxiliary contact blocks
• Pneumatic time delay blocks
• Transient voltage surge suppressors
• Interface modules and electronic timers
• Mechanical latching blocks

The Schneider Electric LC1K1201B7 model is a 3-pole contactor featuring a utilisation category of AC-1 and AC-3 and AC-4. The control circuit voltage is 24 V AC 50/60 Hz with 3 NO power pole contact composition. The rated operation current is 20 A (at <50 °C) at <= 440 V AC AC-1 for power circuit, 12 A at <= 440 V AC AC-3 for power circuit and 16 A (at <70 °C) at 690 V AC AC-1 for power circuit.
