The LC1K-09 AC Contactor represents a robust solution for industrial switching and control applications. Built to IEC/EN 60947-4-1 standards, this contactor combines reliability, performance, and versatility in a compact package.

Featuring electromagnetic operation, the LC1K Series ensures rapid response times and consistent performance across a wide range of applications. The contactor is rated for AC-1 and AC-3 utilization categories, making it suitable for both resistive loads and motor control applications.

With its 3-pole main contact configuration and integrated auxiliary contact, the LC1K-09 provides both power switching and control circuit feedback capabilities. The contactor's coil operates reliably across 85-110% of rated voltage for pick-up and maintains engagement down to 20-75% for drop-out, ensuring stable operation even under voltage fluctuations.

The compact 45mm width design allows for high-density panel installations, while the flexible mounting options (DIN rail or screw mounting) provide installation versatility. The contactor is designed to work seamlessly with thermal overload relays, creating a complete motor protection solution.

Electrical Performance: The LC1K-09 is rated for 9A continuous current under AC-3 duty (motor control), with a power rating of 4 kW at 400V. For resistive loads (AC-1), the contactor can handle up to 20A. The device operates across a voltage range up to 690V AC at 50/60 Hz frequency.

Contact Configuration: The contactor features 3 main normally-open (NO) power contacts designated as 1L1-2T1, 3L2-4T2, and 5L3-6T3, plus one auxiliary normally-open contact (13-14) for control and signaling purposes.

Control Circuit: The electromagnetic coil (terminals A1-A2) is available in multiple voltage ratings including 24V, 110V, and 230V AC. The coil is designed to pick up reliably between 85-110% of rated voltage and drop out between 20-75% of rated voltage, providing excellent tolerance to supply voltage variations.

Durability & Performance: Engineered for demanding applications, the contactor offers a mechanical life expectancy of at least 10 million operations and an electrical life of at least 1 million operations under AC-3 conditions. It supports switching frequencies up to 3600 operations per hour.

Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range: -5°C to +40°C. Storage temperature range: -25°C to +70°C. Vertical mounting position is preferred for optimal performance.

Standards Compliance: Fully compliant with IEC/EN 60947-4-1 standards. CE marked and RoHS compliant for environmental safety.
