  • Product description

    LC1K mini contactor 3P 6A – 2.2kW, 24VAC 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 24VAC control coil, and 1 normally open 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 for a control cabinet is required. The 24VAC 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 24VAC control coil, the coil creates a magnetic field that attracts the contactor mechanism and closes the main power contacts. This turns on the connected load – for example, an electric motor, fan, pump, or other electrical circuit.

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

    What makes the LC1K mini contactor useful?
    The LC1K series mini contactor is a compact solution for situations where space in the control cabinet is limited, but reliable control of a three-phase load is needed. It is suitable for small to medium power motors, automation assemblies, ventilation, lighting, or auxiliary control systems.

    Where is it used?

    • Electric motor control – for switching small and medium-power three-phase motors.
    • Ventilation systems – for controlling fans, air supply, or extraction devices.
    • Pump control circuits – for starting water, circulation, or process pumps.
    • Lighting and heating systems – when the load needs to be controlled via an automation signal.
    • Automation and control cabinets – as a compact actuator in circuits controlled by PLC, relays, or switches.

    Practical mounting example

    For example, the contactor is mounted in a control cabinet and used to control a three-phase fan or pump. A control button, relay, timer relay, pressure switch, or automation controller sends a 24VAC 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, an operating status signal, an interlocking circuit, or a controller input to allow the system to see when the contactor is engaged.

    Usage according to requirements

    For electricians: a convenient contactor for installation in electrical panels, automation boxes, and equipment control circuits. The compact housing helps save space in the control cabinet.

    For engineers/designers: a suitable choice when designing small power motor, ventilation, heating, lighting, or automation control circuits that require a 3P contactor with a 24VAC control coil.

    For maintenance specialists: can be used as a replacement control element in devices requiring a compact three-phase load contactor with an auxiliary contact for signaling or interlocking.

    Pros

    • Compact mini contactor size – convenient for installation in limited 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 electric motor control.
    • 1NO auxiliary contact – can be used for signaling, indication, or interlocking.
    • Low weight – 0.178 kg – easy to mount and assemble in panels.
    • Suitable for automation systems – can be controlled via buttons, relay contacts, or controllers.

    Cons / limitations

    • Not suitable for large loads – must not exceed 6A and 2.2kW parameters.
    • Contactor does not protect the motor itself – additional protection, such as a motor protection circuit breaker or thermal relay, is required for motor protection.
    • Requires a correct schematic – necessary to evaluate load type, inrush currents, control voltage, and protection.
    • Must be mounted in an electrical panel or appropriate protective enclosure according to environmental conditions.

    Safety and mounting notes

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

    • Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician, following electrical safety requirements.
    • Before installation, you must disconnect electrical power and check that there is no voltage in the circuit.
    • Do not exceed rated current and power – the load must match the contactor's parameters.
    • Control coil voltage must be 24VAC – incorrect coil voltage can damage the contactor.
    • Additional overload and short-circuit protection is recommended for the motor.
    • The contactor must be mounted in an appropriate electrical panel or enclosure that meets environmental conditions.
