  • Product description

    LC1K Mini Contactor 3P 6A – 2.2kW, 230VAC Coil, 1NO Auxiliary Contact

    Mini contactor designed for controlling electric motors, fans, pumps, lighting, heating, and automation circuits. The contactor features 3 poles, 6A rated current, 2.2kW power, a 230VAC control coil, and 1 normally open (NO) auxiliary contact. Due to its compact size, it is convenient for use in control cabinets, smaller automation panels, and equipment control circuits.

    Main concept:
    This mini contactor is designed for switching three-phase electrical circuits on and off when a compact, reliable, and easy-to-install solution is needed in a control cabinet. The 230VAC coil allows the contactor to be controlled by standard control voltage, while the 1NO auxiliary contact can be used for signaling, interlocking, or control circuit logic.

    Operating principle

    The contactor operates on an electromagnetic principle. When voltage is applied to the 230VAC control coil, the coil generates a magnetic field that attracts the contactor mechanism and closes the main power contacts. This energizes the connected load, such as an electric motor, fan, pump, or other electrical circuit.

    When the control voltage is removed from the coil, the contactor mechanism returns to its original position, and the power contacts disconnect. The auxiliary 1NO contact can be used for contactor status indication, automation circuit interlocking, signaling control, or auxiliary logic in the control scheme.

    What are the benefits of the LC1K mini contactor?
    The LC1K series mini contactor is a compact solution for when space in the control cabinet is limited, but reliable control of a three-phase load is required. It is suitable for small to medium power motors, automation units, ventilation, lighting, or auxiliary control systems.

    Where is it used?

    • Motor control – switching small to medium power three-phase motors on and off.
    • Ventilation systems – controlling fans, air supply, or exhaust equipment.
    • Pump control circuits – switching water, circulation, or process pumps.
    • Lighting and heating systems – when load control via an automation signal is needed.
    • Automation and control cabinets – as a compact actuator element in PLC, relay, or switch-controlled circuits.

    Practical installation example

    For example, the contactor is installed in a control cabinet and used to control a three-phase fan or pump. A control button, relay, timer, pressure switch, or automation controller sends a 230VAC signal to the contactor coil, and the contactor switches on the main power circuit.

    The 1NO auxiliary contact can be used for an indicator light, status signal, interlocking circuit, or controller input so that the system can detect when the contactor is engaged.

    Usage by user type

    For Electricians: A convenient contactor for installation in electrical panels, automation boxes, and equipment control circuits. The compact housing saves space in the control cabinet.

    For Engineers/Designers: A suitable choice for designing circuits for small-power motors, ventilation, heating, lighting, or automation control where a 3P contactor with a 230VAC coil is needed.

    For Maintenance Specialists: Can be used as a replacement control element in equipment requiring a compact three-phase load contactor with an auxiliary contact for signaling or interlocking.

    Pros

    • Compact mini contactor size – convenient for installation in confined spaces.
    • 3P power contacts – suitable for controlling three-phase circuits.
    • 6A rated current – suitable for many small-power control tasks.
    • 2.2kW power – a practical solution for motor control.
    • 1NO auxiliary contact – can be used for signaling, indication, or interlocking.
    • Lightweight – 0.177 kg – easy to install and assemble in panels.
    • Suitable for automation systems – can be controlled via pushbuttons, relay contacts, or controllers.

    Cons / limitations

    • Not suitable for heavy loads – must not exceed the 6A and 2.2kW limits.
    • Does not provide motor protection itself – additional protection, such as a motor circuit breaker or thermal overload relay, is required.
    • Correct circuit design required – load type, starting currents, control voltage, and protections must be assessed.
    • Must be installed in an electrical panel or suitable protective enclosure according to environmental conditions.

    Safety and installation notes

    The contactor is an electrical control device; therefore, before installation, evaluate the load current, control voltage, motor power, protection devices, wire cross-section, and installation environment.

    • Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with electrical safety standards.
    • Always disconnect power before installation and check that there is no voltage in the circuit.
    • Do not exceed rated current and power – load must match the contactor's ratings.
    • Control coil voltage must be 230VAC – incorrect coil voltage can damage the contactor.
    • Additional overload and short-circuit protection is recommended for motors.
    • The contactor must be installed in a suitable electrical panel or enclosure matching environmental conditions.
