The AC-4 utilisation category also covers plugging and inching duty, so it suits applications requiring frequent reversing or jogging. The 100 V AC coil is a specific control voltage; verify your control transformer matches before specifying. ## Physical integration and approvals The preassembled reversing busbar eliminates the need for external cross-wiring between two contactors. Flame retardance meets UL 94 V1 and NF F 16-101/102, which is relevant for rail and transit applications where fire-smoke-toxicity standards apply. Mechanical robustness is specified to 10-15 Gn shock and 4 Gn vibration with the contactor closed, per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6 — adequate for most industrial machinery but not extreme mobile or marine environments without additional isolation.","metaTitle":"Schneider TeSys K LC2K1601K72 Reversing Contactor, 3P, 16A A","metaDescription":"Obsolete TeSys K reversing contactor, 3P, AC-3 <=440V 16A, 1 NC, 100V AC coil.

For a pin-compatible replacement, you would need to evaluate current TeSys K or TeSys D reversing contactor offerings from Schneider Electric with matching pole count, AC-3 current rating, and coil voltage — but no direct drop-in substitute is documented here. An RFQ with your specific requirements is the best path to identify a replacement."},{"question":"What are the key specifications for LC2K1601K72?","answer":"It is a 3-pole reversing contactor rated AC-3 at 16 A up to 440 V, with a 100 V AC coil and one NC auxiliary contact.
