About TELEMECANIQUE LC1F185 CONTACTOR
A contactor is an electrical device which is used for switching an electrical circuit on or off. ... These contacts are in most cases normally open and provide operating power to the load when the contactor coil is energized. Contactors are most commonly used for controlling electric motors.Superior Endurance and LongevityWith a mechanical endurance of 10 million operations and an electrical lifespan of 1 million operations at rated load, the LC1F185 contactor is built for sustained, intensive use. Its shock resistance (15g) and vibration resilience make it suitable for challenging industrial environments, ensuring continuous and reliable performance.
Versatile Industrial ApplicationThis contactor is designed to handle high-current applications, making it ideal for motor control and power switching in factory automation, heavy machinery, and process industries. Its three-pole configuration, flame-retardant housing, and compliance with IEC 60947-4-1 offer enhanced safety and flexibility for various installation requirements.
Efficient and User-Friendly DesignFeaturing energy-efficient coil consumption (90 VA pick-up, 9 VA hold) and screw-type terminals for secure connection, the LC1F185 combines operational efficiency with ease of installation. The matte surface finish and black-blue color scheme complement modern industrial setups, while the panel/DIN rail mounting option simplifies integration.
