It carries a single normally-closed instantaneous auxiliary contact and a 200…208 V AC coil without a built-in suppressor module. The screw-clamp terminals accept 1.5…4 mm² solid or 0.75…4 mm² flexible cable, and the mounting plate or rail footprint (45 mm wide, 58 mm tall, 57 mm deep) fits standard panel layouts. ## Motor duty and durability Rated AC-3 and AC-3e at 16 A, this contactor is sized for switching three-phase induction motors under full-load starting and running conditions — the category that matters for conveyor, pump, and fan duty. Electrical durability is 1.3 million cycles at that 16 A AC-3 load; mechanical durability reaches 10 million cycles. The 1 NC auxiliary contact is rated for signalling circuits down to 5 mA and 17 V minimum switching, so it can drive a PLC input or status lamp without extra interfacing. The LC1K1601L7 carries approvals across the major industrial regions: EN/IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, JIS C8201-4-1, plus appliance-specific clauses in IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-40. Flame retardance is V1 per UL 94. The IP2X finger-protection rating (VDE 0106) means it can be mounted in open panels where incidental contact is possible, though a cover or enclosure is still standard practice.","metaTitle":"Schneider LC1K1601L7 TeSys K Contactor, 3P, 16A, 200-208V AC","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric TeSys K LC1K1601L7 contactor, 3P, AC-3/AC-3e 16A at 440V, 1NC aux, 200-208V AC coil, screw terminals.
