It comes preassembled with the reversing power busbar, so you're not hunting for the interlock kit or bus links when you build a motor-reversing circuit. The 48 V AC coil is a specific control voltage — common in older panel designs or sites with a separate control transformer. Verify your control circuit matches before you wire it in; the coil won't pull in reliably on 24 V or 120 V. The 57 mm depth and 90 mm width fit standard DIN-rail enclosures; the 58 mm height leaves room above for a terminal block or overload relay. Storage range of -50 to 80 °C matters if the spare sits in an unheated warehouse. It's part of the TeSys K family, which is Schneider's compact contactor range for motor control up to about 20 A. The preassembled reversing busbar is a time-saver on the panel bench — that's one less subassembly to order and one less wiring step.","metaTitle":"Schneider TeSys K LC2K1610E72 Reversing Contactor, 16A AC-3,","metaDescription":"Schneider TeSys K reversing contactor LC2K1610E72, 3P, AC-3 <=440V 16A, 1NO aux, 48V AC coil.

The mechanical and power circuit are identical; only the coil voltage changes. If you need a different current rating, the TeSys K family covers 9 A to 20 A in the same footprint."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for LC2K1610E72?","answer":"The contactor carries IP20 per VDE 0106, flame retardance V1 per UL 94, and compliance with NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102 for railway applications.
