LC1D326BL Schneider Electric – TeSys D Contactor, 3P 3NO, 32 A AC-3, 24 V DC Low-Consumption Coil, Ring-Lug Terminals
The Schneider Electric LC1D326BL is a 3-pole TeSys D (TeSys Deca) contactor rated 32 A in AC-3 up to 440 V, for motors up to 15 kW at 400 V. The “6” in the reference means it uses ring-lug terminals on both power and control circuits. The “BL” means it has a 24 V DC low-consumption coil that draws only 2.4 W and includes a built-in suppressor. It suits installations that require lug connections, such as marine, rail or heavy-industry panels, and control circuits driven directly by PLC outputs.
