Product Description
Schneider Electric LC1D40008 TeSys D Contactor — 4-Pole, 60A, 2NO/2NC
The Schneider Electric LC1D40008 is a 4-pole, 60A IEC contactor from the TeSys D / TeSys Deca line, featuring a 2NO/2NC power pole configuration rated at 60A AC-1 for resistive and non-inductive loads up to 690V. Widely used in crane and hoist control circuits, reversing duty applications, capacitor bank switching, and 4-wire load control, the LC1D40008 mounts on standard 35mm DIN rail and accepts the full range of TeSys D accessory blocks. For higher current requirements in the same 4-pole configuration, see the LC1D65008 (80A AC-1) or LC1D80008 (125A AC-1).

|---|---|
| Crane & Hoist Control | Simultaneous switching of power and control circuits in a single contactor |
| Reversing Duty Circuits | 2NO/2NC configuration supports forward/reverse interlocking logic |
| Capacitor Bank Switching | High AC-1 rating suitable for capacitive load switching |
| 4-Wire Resistive Load Switching | All 4 conductors switched simultaneously including neutral |
| Heating & Lighting Control | 60A AC-1 rating for medium-duty resistive loads up to 690V |
Product Features
- 2NO/2NC Power Pole Configuration: The LC1D40008 provides 2 normally open and 2 normally closed power poles in a single contactor body, making it suited for crane duty, reversing, and 4-pole switching applications where opposing contact action is required simultaneously.
- 60A AC-1 Rating at 690V: Rated for resistive and non-inductive loads at 60A AC-1. Note: this is an AC-1 rated contactor — it is not rated for AC-3 direct motor switching at this current level. For motor starting applications, refer to the standard 3-pole LC1D series.
- 85mm Frame Width: The LC1D40008 uses the 85mm TeSys D frame — larger than the 45mm small-frame LC1D09–LC1D32 range. Dimensions are 127mm H × 85mm W × 125mm D. Confirm your panel space before ordering.
- TeSys D Accessory Compatible: Accepts LADN front-mount and LAD8N side-mount auxiliary contact blocks, which snap on without tools. No built-in auxiliary contacts are included with the base unit.
- 4-Pole Family Overview: The LC1D 4-pole 08 range covers three current ratings: LC1D40008 (60A AC-1), LC1D65008 (80A AC-1), and LC1D80008 (125A AC-1) — all in the same 85mm frame with identical accessories and coil voltage suffix system.
- Global Certifications: Compliant with IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL, CSA, CCC, GL, DNV, and Marine standards for domestic and international panel builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does LC1D40008 mean?
The part number follows Schneider Electric’s TeSys D naming convention: LC1 = IEC contactor, D = TeSys D frame, 400 = 4-pole variant in the D40 frame, 08 = 2NO/2NC contact configuration. The coil voltage suffix is appended at the end — for example, LC1D40008G7 is the 120V 50/60Hz AC version and LC1D40008T7 is the 480V AC version. Select your coil voltage from the dropdown above.
Why is the LC1D40008 rated 60A when the product title says 40A?
The “40” in the part number refers to the AC-3 motor rating of the underlying D40 frame contactor — but in the 4-pole 2NO/2NC configuration (denoted by the “08” suffix), the AC-1 resistive load rating is 60A. AC-1 and AC-3 are different duty classifications under IEC 60947. The 60A AC-1 rating applies to resistive and non-inductive switching, which is the correct rating for crane, reversing, and heating applications.
What is the difference between the LC1D40008, LC1D65008, and LC1D80008?
All three are 4-pole, 2NO/2NC TeSys D contactors for the same application types — only the current rating differs. The LC1D40008 is rated 60A AC-1, the LC1D65008 is rated 80A AC-1, and the LC1D80008 is rated 125A AC-1. All three use the same 85mm frame, the same TeSys D accessories, and the same coil voltage suffix system. Select based on your load’s maximum continuous current.
Can the LC1D40008 be used for motor starting?
No — the LC1D40008 is rated at 60A AC-1 for resistive and non-inductive loads. It is not rated for AC-3 direct-on-line motor starting at this current. For three-phase motor starting applications, use the standard 3-pole LC1D series which carry AC-3 ratings. The LC1D40008 is specifically suited for crane duty, reversing circuits, capacitor switching, and 4-wire resistive load control.
Does the LC1D40008 come with auxiliary contacts?
No — the base LC1D40008 ships without auxiliary contacts. LADN front-mount and LAD8N side-mount auxiliary contact blocks from the TeSys D accessory range snap on without tools and are fully compatible with the LC1D40008.
Is the LC1D40008 in stock for same-day shipping?
Yes — the LC1D40008 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.
