At 16 A AC-3, this contactor handles motor loads up to roughly 4 kW at 400 V three-phase, making it a compact fit for smaller machine sections or auxiliary drives. ## Standards coverage and what it unlocks The LC1K16106K7 is certified to EN/IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, and JIS C8201-4-1 — the core contactor and motor-starter standards across Europe, North America, and Japan. It also meets IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and IEC 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for appliance and HVAC applications, and carries a V-1 flame retardance rating per UL 94. This breadth of approvals means the same part number can be specified into panels destined for multiple regulatory jurisdictions without a variant change. The 57 mm depth and 58 mm height keep it within the compact TeSys K footprint, leaving room for auxiliary contact blocks or a thermal overload relay alongside on the rail. Terminals accept lugs or ring terminals up to 7 mm outer diameter, torqued to 0.8–1.3 N·m. ## Durability and electrical life under real duty Rated for 1.3 million electrical cycles at 16 A AC-3 / AC-3e up to 440 V, and 10 million mechanical cycles. The B10d value for the contactor under nominal load is 1,369,863 cycles per EN/ISO 13849-1, which supports use in safety-related control circuits where reliability data is required for SIL/PL calculations. The minimum switching capability is 5 mA at 17 V, so it can also handle low-level signalling without contact wetting issues.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric LC1K16106K7 TeSys K Contactor, 3P, 16A AC","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric LC1K16106K7 TeSys K contactor, 3-pole, 16 A rated in AC-3/AC-3e at 440 V, 1 NO auxiliary contact, 100 V AC coil.

The key differentiator for this specific variant is the 16 A AC-3 rating and the 100 V AC coil. A different coil voltage or a higher/lower current rating would be a different order code, but the mechanical interface and auxiliary contact arrangement are consistent across the family."},{"question":"What compliance documentation is available for this part?","answer":"The part is certified to EN/IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, JIS C8201-4-1, and meets IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-40 appliance standards.
