Product Description
Schneider Electric LC1D32 TeSys Deca Contactor — 32A, 3-Pole
The Schneider Electric LC1D32 is a 32A, 3-pole IEC contactor from the TeSys Deca series (formerly known as TeSys D). Rated 32A AC-3 and 50A AC-1 in a compact 45mm frame, it is designed for reliable switching of three-phase motors and industrial loads in motor starters, HVAC systems, pumping applications, conveyors, and automation control panels. The LC1D32 includes built-in 1 N.O. and 1 N.C. auxiliary contacts as standard — additional LADN front-mount and LAD8N side-mount contact blocks can be field-added without tools for applications requiring more switching outputs.

Product Features
- Built-In 1 N.O. + 1 N.C. Auxiliary Contacts: Standard on all LC1D32 variants — no additional block required for basic signalling and interlocking. Additional LADN front-mount blocks (2, 3, or 4 contact configurations) and LAD8N side-mount blocks snap on without tools. Select from the auxiliary contacts dropdown above.
- Compact 45mm Frame: Identical footprint to LC1D09 through LC1D38, allowing high-density installation. Accessories including LADN auxiliary contact blocks and LRD overload relays are fully interchangeable across the D09–D38 frame family.
- Multi-Standard Screw Terminals: Accepts flat, Phillips, and Pozidriv screwdrivers for fast field wiring. Wire range 2.5–10 mm² (AWG 6–14, CU 75°C). Tightening torque 2.5 N·m / 22 lb-in.
- Direct-Mount Overload Relay: Pairs directly with Schneider Electric LRD series bimetallic overload relays (LRD01–LRD35, 0.10–38A). For a 32A motor, select LRD32 (23–32A) or LRD35 (30–38A) from the overload relay dropdown above. Electronic LR9D series relays are also compatible (LR9D01–LR9D32).
- High Mechanical Endurance: Designed for millions of switching cycles. Suitable for heavy-duty motor control applications in HVAC, pumping, conveying, and industrial automation.
- UL60335 Plastics: TeSys Deca uses updated UL60335-compliant plastics with greater endurance in the presence of heat or fire, compared to the earlier TeSys D series.
- Global Certifications: UL, CSA, IEC, and CE compliant for domestic and international panel builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the LC1D32 part number mean?
The part number follows Schneider Electric’s TeSys Deca naming convention: LC1 = IEC contactor, D = TeSys Deca (formerly TeSys D) frame, 32 = 32A AC-3 current rating. The suffix code identifies the coil voltage — for example, LC1D32G7 is the 120V AC coil and LC1D32BD is the 24V DC coil. Select your coil voltage from the dropdown above.
Does the LC1D32 come with built-in auxiliary contacts?
Yes — all LC1D32 variants include 1 N.O. + 1 N.C. auxiliary contacts as standard. These are integrated into the contactor body and are available for signalling and interlocking without adding any accessory blocks. If your application requires additional contacts beyond the built-in pair, field-mountable LADN front-mount blocks (available in 2- and 4-contact configurations) and LAD8N side-mount blocks snap on without tools. Select the configuration you need from the auxiliary contacts dropdown above.
What is the difference between the LC1D32 and LC1D25?
The LC1D25 is rated 25A AC-3 (10 HP @ 460V, 7.5 HP @ 200V) and the LC1D32 is rated 32A AC-3 (20 HP @ 460V, 10 HP @ 200V). Both use the same 45mm TeSys Deca frame, which means LADN and LAD8N auxiliary contact blocks and LRD overload relays are fully interchangeable between the two frame sizes. Choose the LC1D32 when your motor’s full-load amps exceed the LC1D25’s 25A AC-3 rating.
What overload relay pairs with the LC1D32?
The Schneider Electric LRD series bimetallic overload relays mount directly beneath the LC1D32 to create a complete motor starter. For most 32A applications, select the LRD32 (adjusts 23–32A, Class 10) or LRD35 (adjusts 30–38A, Class 10). Match the LRD range to your motor’s full-load amps from the nameplate. For Class 20 or electronic overload protection, the LR9D32 (6.4–32A, Class 5/10/20/30 selectable) is also compatible. All LRD options from LRD01 through LRD35 are available in the overload relay dropdown above.
Are the auxiliary contacts and overload relays for the LC1D32 interchangeable with other TeSys Deca contactors?
Yes — LADN front-mount blocks and LAD8N side-mount blocks are compatible across the full TeSys Deca range from LC1D09 through LC1D38. LRD01–LRD35 overload relays also mount directly to any contactor in this range. If you are upgrading or replacing a contactor within the D09–D38 family, your existing accessories will fit the LC1D32 without modification.
What is the difference between TeSys D and TeSys Deca?
TeSys Deca is Schneider Electric’s current commercial name for the product line formerly sold as TeSys D. The LC1D part numbers are unchanged — the LC1D32 you order today is the same part as the LC1D32 in TeSys D era documentation. The Deca update introduced UL60335-compliant plastics with greater heat and fire endurance, and multi-standard screw terminals compatible with flat, Phillips, and Pozidriv screwdrivers.
Can the LC1D32 be used for hermetic refrigeration compressor applications?
Yes — the LC1D32 (AC coil versions only) carries a definite purpose rating for hermetic refrigeration compressor switching: FLA 32A, with locked-rotor ampere (LRA) ratings of 192A at 240V, 160A at 480V, and 128A at 600V, for 3-phase breaking of all lines at 100,000 cycles. This makes it suitable for compressor contactor applications in commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems. Note that the DC coil version (LC1D32BD) does not carry this rating.
Is the LC1D32 in stock for same-day shipping?
Yes — the LC1D32 is a stocked item at Kent Electrical Supply’s warehouse in Emmaus, PA. Orders placed before 4:00 PM EST ship the same business day. Current stock quantity is shown on this page.
