SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC LA1-LC010

Schneider Electric LA1-LC010 Mechanical Latch Block Description The LA1-LC010 is a mechanical latch block from Telemecanique (now Schneider Electric), designed as a key accessory for LD and LC series contactors. This unit allows a contactor to be mechanically held in the operated position after the coil is de-energized. It is released by a separate electrical pulse, providing an energy-efficient solution for applications where a continuous control signal is undesirable. This component is an essential spare part for maintaining legacy automation systems.

A mechanical latch block holds the contactor’s main contacts in the closed position even after the main coil power is removed. It requires a separate electrical pulse to a release coil to unlatch the mechanism and open the contacts. Question?Which series of Telemecanique contactors is the LA1-LC010 compatible with? As stated on the device, it is designed specifically for use with the Telemecanique LD and LC series contactors. It is not compatible with the modern TeSys D series without modification or an adapter. Question?How is the LA1-LC010 electrically controlled to latch and unlatch? Latching occurs automatically when the main contactor coil is energized. To unlatch, a momentary voltage pulse must be applied to the release coil terminals on the latch block itself (terminals not part of the main contactor coil).
