It's designed for motor control in control panels, switching direction on conveyors, pumps, or fans where you need forward/reverse without a separate mechanical interlock assembly. If you're looking for a drop-in replacement, the TeSys K series has been superseded by the TeSys Deca and TeSys Giga lines, but those are different form factors and mounting patterns — not pin-compatible. You'll need to re-evaluate panel layout and wiring if you move to a current-production series. The 3 NO power poles handle the motor lines; the single NO auxiliary contact is built in for status feedback or seal-in logic. Wire it as a standard reversing pair: line to common, load to motor, with the coil interlocked through the opposite contactor's NC auxiliary (which you'll need to add externally, since this unit only carries one NO).","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric TeSys K LC2K16105M72 Reversing Contactor,","metaDescription":"Obsolete TeSys K reversing contactor, 3P, AC-3 ≤440V 16A, 220-230V AC coil.
