Schneider Electric LC1D12 Contactor

Schneider Electric's LC1D12 TeSys D three-pole contactor delivers 12 A in AC-3 motor-start duty for industrial control panels, with nonreversing operation and three normally open power contacts suited for starting and stopping small to mid-size motors. Variants are available with a range of coil voltages to suit different control circuits, including 24 V DC (typical LC1D12BL style), 24 VAC, 48 VAC, and 240 VAC coils, all featuring secure screw-clamp terminations for reliable wiring. The LC1D12 family is rated for AC-3 operation up to 440 V in standard listings, and some market listings extend to 480 V for higher-voltage motor loads; these contactors are designed for DIN rail or panel mounting in control cabinets. Certain configurations add an auxiliary contact (1 NO/1 NC) for interlocking or signaling, and some variants advertise high short-circuit current ratings (SCCR) up to 100 kA, underscoring suitability for robust motor-starter applications. In sum, LC1D12 offers a compact, compatible starter within Schneider Electric’s TeSys D lineage, balancing proven electrical ratings, flexible coil options, and straightforward wiring for reliable motor control.
