The 16 A AC-3 figure means it handles a 3-phase motor drawing roughly 16 A full-load — think a 7.5 kW motor at 400 V — without welding the main poles on start. The unit ships preassembled with the reversing power busbar, so you don't need to source a separate mechanical interlock or busbar kit. That saves panel-build time and avoids the risk of a misaligned interlock that could let both contactors close simultaneously — a direct phase-to-phase short. IP20 finger-safe terminals (VDE 0106) mean it's protected against accidental contact inside an enclosure, but not against dust or moisture ingress — mount it in a cabinet rated for the environment. For consignment or VMI programs, the predictable demand pattern and standardized form factor make it a good candidate for auto-replenishment — the bin's running low signal triggers a release without manual PO intervention. ## Mechanical endurance and shock handling The contactor is tested to withstand 10 Gn shocks on the Y and Z axes (contactor closed) and 15 Gn on the same axes when closed — that's rail or marine-grade vibration resistance. Vibration tolerance is 4 Gn closed, 2 Gn open across 5-300 Hz per IEC 60068-2-6. For a reversing contactor on a conveyor or crane, this means it won't drop out under mechanical shock that would bounce a lesser contactor open.","metaTitle":"Schneider TeSys K LC2K16105P72 Reversing Contactor, 16 A AC-","metaDescription":"Schneider TeSys K reversing contactor LC2K16105P72, 3P, AC-3 16 A at ≤440 V, 230 VAC coil, 1 NO auxiliary.
