AC-3e adds an energy-efficiency classification for motors meeting IEC 60034-30 IE2 and above, so this contactor is sized for a motor drawing up to 16 A in that duty. The coil is wound for 200...208 V AC, 50/60 Hz, with an operational voltage range of 0.8 to 1.15 times the control supply voltage (Uc) and a drop-out threshold of 20 % Uc. Inrush power is 30 VA at 20 °C, holding at 4.5 VA — the coil's thermal dissipation is 1.3 W, which matters for enclosure heat rise when multiple contactors are ganged in a panel. Depth is 57 mm, so it clears a 60 mm deep enclosure backplate with room for wiring. Screw clamp terminals accept 1.5...4 mm² solid or 0.34...2.5 mm² flexible with ferrule; tightening torque is 0.8...1.3 N·m using a No 2 Phillips or flat 6 mm driver. IP2X finger protection per VDE 0106. The contactor carries one instantaneous NO auxiliary contact. For signalling circuits, minimum switching is 5 mA at 17 V — enough for a PLC input but not for dry-contact low-level logic without verifying the load matches. B10d for the contactor under nominal load is 1,369,863 cycles per EN/ISO 13849-1, which qualifies it for safety-related control circuits up to that reliability level. The contactor is certified to EN/IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, and JIS C8201-4-1. It also meets the glow-wire and flame-retardance requirements of IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and IEC 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for appliance applications. Flame retardance is V1 per UL 94. The protective treatment is TC per IEC 60068 and DIN 50016, meaning it is tested for tropical climate resistance — relevant for export or high-humidity installations.","metaTitle":"Schneider LC1K1610L7 TeSys K Contactor, 3P, 16A AC-3, 200-20","metaDescription":"Schneider TeSys K contactor LC1K1610L7, 3-pole, 16 A AC-3/AC-3e at 440 V, 1 NO aux, 200-208 V AC coil.
