Rated for AC-3 duty at 16 A up to 440 V, it handles reversing motor loads such as conveyors, hoists, and door actuators where the direction change is frequent. The coil is wound for 380-400 V AC, so it's a direct fit on 400 V three-phase panels common across European and Asian industrial sites. ## Key ratings and what they mean for fit The AC-3 rating of 16 A at ≤440 V is the motor-switching current — it's the figure that governs whether this contactor can start and stop a 3-phase induction motor under load. For a 400 V system, that translates to roughly 7.5 kW motor capacity. The 690 V AC rated operational voltage on the power circuit means the contactor can also switch resistive or lightly inductive loads at higher line voltages, but the AC-3 motor rating is the one that matters for the reversing duty it's built for. IP20 finger protection (per VDE 0106) is standard for enclosed panel mounting — no special shrouding needed inside the cabinet, but it's not rated for washdown or outdoor exposure. Operating altitude up to 2000 m without derating covers most installations; above that, the air dielectric and cooling degrade, so the contactor would need to be down-rated or replaced with a higher-spec unit. ## Sourcing and lifecycle reality Schneider has marked the LC2K1610Q7 as obsolete, so it's no longer in active factory production. For a BOM line that calls out this exact order code, the practical sourcing path is through surplus or broker channels — we can quote it to order against an RFQ, but there is no official Schneider successor part number to cross-reference. If you're designing a new panel or stocking spares, the closest active alternative in the TeSys range would be a reversing contactor from the TeSys D series, but the form factor, busbar arrangement, and coil voltage need to be verified against the existing footprint — it's not a pin-for-pin drop-in.","metaTitle":"Schneider TeSys K LC2K1610Q7 reversing contactor, 3P, 16 A A","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric TeSys K LC2K1610Q7 reversing contactor, 3P, AC-3 ≤440 V 16 A, 1 NO, 380-400 V AC coil.
