Description

LS Electric MC-12a/4 (Metasol Series)

The MC-12a/4 is a compact 4-pole AC magnetic contactor rated up to 12 A (AC-3, 400 V), suitable for switching resistive and inductive loads in both motor and general-purpose control circuits. It maintains the same reliable Metasol architecture, offering consistent durability and modular compatibility.

The Polar Energy Assessment:

Engineers choose the MC-12a/4 when a 4P configuration is required without stepping up to a larger frame size. It’s particularly valued for its versatile contact arrangement (4P main or 3P+1A) and coil voltage flexibility. Functionally, it bridges the gap between small 3-pole contactors and heavier-duty modular assemblies.

Pros

  • 4-pole design for flexible circuit configurations
  • High endurance (10 million mechanical operations)
  • Universal AC/DC coil voltage options
  • Compatible with standard Metasol accessories

Limitations

  • Limited to mid-power circuits (12 A max)
  • No built-in overload protection

Typical use cases

  • Reversing and interlocking circuits
  • Dual-supply or transfer switch panels
  • Multi-pole lighting and power distribution systems
  • Neutral line control in industrial panels
  • General-purpose automation and motor control
