Schneider Electric LC2D12BD Iec Contactor 3 Pole 12A 24VDC

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC LC2D12BD is a 3-pole IEC-rated reversible contactor designed for motor control and load-switching applications in industrial and commercial electrical systems. It operates on a 24 VDC coil voltage and carries a rated amperage of 12 amps at 440 VAC. The contactor includes both a normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) auxiliary contact configuration, supporting interlocking and control-circuit requirements common in reversing motor starters. Licensed electricians and industrial controls technicians are the primary installers. The LC2D12BD meets a broad range of international standards, including UL 508, CSA C22.2 No. 14, and EN/IEC 60947-4-1, making it suitable for use in North American and international panel builds.

This contactor is applied in reversible motor starter assemblies where forward and reverse direction control is required. Typical installations include conveyor drives, pump controls, fan systems, and machine tool panels in light industrial and commercial facilities. The 24 VDC coil makes it compatible with low-voltage DC control circuits commonly used in PLC-driven and relay-logic panels. Its compact footprint suits both new panel construction and retrofit applications where space is at a premium.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style IEC contactor for use in reversible motor starter and control panel assemblies where a 3-pole, 24 VDC coil, 12-amp reversible contactor is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and applicable local codes. De-energize and lockout the panel before installing or replacing the contactor. Verify coil voltage and pole ratings match the existing circuit design before making connections. Confirm auxiliary contact wiring to interlocking circuits is correct before restoring power to avoid unintended simultaneous forward and reverse energization.
