It is rated for AC-3 switching up to 16 A at 440 V, with a 127 V AC 50/60 Hz coil. The 1 NO auxiliary contact is built in, and the contactor is IP20 protected per VDE 0106, so it is intended for installation inside a control panel or enclosure where the live parts are not exposed to touch during normal operation. The AC-3 rating of 16 A at 440 V is the figure that governs motor switching — it covers standard squirrel-cage motors during starting and running, where the contactor makes and breaks the load current. The AC-4 category also listed means it can handle plugging and inching duty, which involves higher electrical wear. The IP20 finger-safe rating means the contactor itself is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm, but it is not sealed against dust or moisture — it belongs in a clean, dry enclosure, not on a washdown line.","metaTitle":"Schneider TeSys K LC2K16105FC72 reversing contactor, 3P, 16","metaDescription":"Schneider TeSys K reversing contactor LC2K16105FC72, 3P, AC-3 <= 440 V 16 A, 1 NO, 127 V AC coil.
