Description

LS Electric MC-12a (Metasol Series)

The LS Electric MC-12a is a 3-pole AC magnetic contactor rated up to 12 A, suitable for control and switching of AC motors up to approximately 5.5 kW (400 V). Designed for DIN rail or panel mounting, it offers robust performance, compact dimensions, and easy integration into control panels.

The Polar Energy Assessment:

The MC-12a stands out for its high mechanical durability (10 million operations) and wide coil voltage range options (AC/DC). It’s a solid workhorse for OEMs and maintenance engineers who value reliability, modular accessories, and UL/CE compliance. Compared to smaller models (like MC-9a), it delivers a bit more punch without needing additional space or thermal compromise.

Pros

  • Long mechanical lifespan (up to 10 million operations)
  • Compact DIN-rail design for easy installation
  • Wide AC/DC coil voltage options (24–240 V)
  • UL, CE, and IEC certified reliability

Limitations

  • Limited current capacity for heavy industrial drives
  • Coil power consumption slightly higher than mini contactors
  • No integrated auxiliary contacts (sold separately)

Typical use cases

  • HVAC motor starters
  • Conveyor systems and light machinery
  • Pump and fan control panels
  • General automation switchboards
  • Control of resistive or inductive AC loads
