Schneider Electric LC1D256BD Iec Contactor 3 Pole 24VDC

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC LC1D256BD is a 3-pole IEC-rated non-reversible contactor designed for motor control and power switching applications. It operates on a 24 volt DC coil voltage and includes an auxiliary contact configuration of one normally closed (NC) and one normally open (NO). This contactor is built to IEC and UL standards, making it suitable for use in industrial control panels, machine tool circuits, and commercial HVAC equipment. Licensed electricians and panel builders are the primary installers. At 1.27 pounds, the unit is compact and fits standard DIN-rail or panel-mount configurations.

The LC1D256BD is used in non-reversible motor starter circuits and general load switching applications across both commercial and light industrial settings. It is well suited for HVAC compressor contactors, conveyor controls, pump panels, and other three-phase or single-load control circuits where a 24 VDC control signal drives the coil. The auxiliary NC/NO contact supports interlock wiring and status signaling in the control circuit. This contactor is sold individually and is a direct replacement or upgrade option for panels requiring IEC-standard components.

Key Features

• 3-pole configuration handles three-phase or multi-leg load switching
• 24 volt DC coil voltage for low-voltage control circuit compatibility
• Auxiliary contact configuration: 1 NC and 1 NO for interlock or signaling use
• Non-reversible action for standard motor starter and switching duty
• Compliant with UL 508, UL Listed, CSA C22.2 No. 14, and EN/IEC 60947-4-1 standards
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style IEC contactor replacement for industrial control panels, motor starter assemblies, and commercial electrical equipment requiring a 3-pole non-reversible contactor with a 24 VDC coil.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the panel before removing the existing contactor or making any wiring connections. Verify that the control circuit voltage matches the 24 VDC coil rating before energizing. Confirm auxiliary contact wiring is correct for the interlock or signaling function before returning the circuit to service.
