Schneider Electric LA4KE1B Contactor Suppressor Module

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC LA4KE1B is a contactor suppressor module designed to reduce electrical noise and voltage transients generated when contactor coils de-energize. Suppressor modules protect sensitive control circuits and connected devices by absorbing the inductive kickback that occurs at coil dropout. The LA4KE1B installs directly onto compatible contactor bodies without additional wiring, making it a clean, compact solution for panel builders and industrial electricians working on motor control and automation equipment. At 0.01 pounds and measuring 1.6 inches in length, 1.1 inches in width, and 0.3 inches in height, it occupies minimal panel space.

This suppressor module is intended for use in motor control centers, machine control panels, and industrial automation enclosures where contactor coil suppression is required. It is suited for both light-duty and standard industrial applications using compatible Schneider Electric contactor platforms. Electricians and panel builders installing or servicing control panels with TeSys-series contactors will find this module a direct fit for suppression requirements on new builds and field replacements alike.

Key Features

• Suppresses inductive voltage transients at contactor coil de-energization to protect control circuits
• Snap-on mounting directly to compatible contactor bodies — no additional wiring required
• Compact footprint: 1.6 x 1.1 x 0.3 inches, minimizing panel space consumption
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds for easy handling during panel assembly
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum order multiple beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed for use with Schneider Electric LC1, LP1, and TeSys K series contactors as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the control panel before installing or replacing the suppressor module. The module snaps directly onto the contactor coil terminals — verify the contactor series matches the module before installation to ensure proper seating and electrical contact. Do not attempt to install while the panel is energized.
