Coil energisation closes the NO power poles in 30 to 40 ms; de-energisation opens them in 10 ms — fast enough for most motor start/stop sequences, and the 1 NC auxiliary contact gives a positive feedback signal for the PLC or safety circuit. Rated for AC-3 (motor starting) and AC-3e (enhanced motor) duty at 12 A, 440 V, and AC-1 (resistive) at 20 A — the AC-3 figure is the one that governs motor load selection; the AC-1 rating covers heater or lighting banks. Electrical durability is 1.3 million cycles at 12 A AC-3, dropping to 0.3 million at 20 A AC-1 and 20,000 at 72 A AC-4 (reversing or inching duty) — the AC-4 figure tells you this isn't a jogging contactor for high-cycle reversing applications. Mechanical durability is 10 million cycles, so the mechanism outlasts the electrical contacts in normal motor-start service. Spring terminals accept 0.75 to 1.5 mm² solid or flexible wire, one or two conductors — no screw torque to verify, just strip to 8 mm and push in. Operating temperature range is -25 to 50 °C, storage from -50 to 80 °C — fine for most indoor industrial panels; derate above 2000 m altitude. It carries approvals to EN/IEC 60947-4-1 and -5-1, UL 60947-4-1 and -5-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1 and -5-1, and GB/T 14048.4 — accepted in European, North American, and Chinese markets without additional certification paperwork. Flame retardance meets V1 per UL 94 and NF F 16-101/102 requirements — relevant for rail and transit applications where fire-smoke-toxicity compliance is mandatory.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric TeSys K LP1K12013BD3 Contactor, 12A, 24V","metaDescription":"Active 3-pole contactor, TeSys K range, 12A AC-3/AC-3e at 440V, 24V DC coil with integral suppression, 1 NC aux, spring terminals.
