Schneider Electric LC1D38BDC Contactor

Schneider Electric TeSys D LC1D38BDC Contactor is a compact three‑pole motor-contactor designed for AC‑3 duty, capable of switching loads up to 440 V and carrying 38 A. It uses a 24 V DC coil and provides three normally open contacts (3 NO) with screw-clamp terminals for secure wiring. This model is part of Schneider Electric's TeSys D family and is suitable for motor-control tasks in conveyors, pumps, fans, and machine tools, with open‑style mounting options that ease panel installation. The LC1D38BDC supports AC‑3/AC‑3e duty across the standard voltage range up to 440 VAC, enabling reliable starting and control of motors in industrial environments. Coil operate time is typically around 72 milliseconds, contributing to responsive automation sequences. When integrating, ensure your control circuit reliably drives a 24 V DC coil and consider any required auxiliary contacts or interlocks to match your control logic and safety requirements.
