The 24 VDC coil pulls in at 0.8 to 1.15 times the control voltage and drops out reliably at 0.1 times Uc, so a standard 24 VDC supply from a PLC or power supply will hold it. One normally-open instantaneous auxiliary contact is built in, enough for a feedback signal to the controller. The lugs accept ring terminals with a 7 mm outer diameter, which is typical for this current class. The AC-3 rating at 12 A, 440 V is the motor-switching figure that governs real-world fit — it's the current the contactor can make and break under full-load motor starts. The electrical durability at that duty is 1.3 million cycles, with mechanical durability at 10 million cycles. For safety-related circuits, the B10d value of 1,369,863 cycles (under nominal load) gives a reliability figure per EN/ISO 13849-1. The minimum switching capability is 5 mA at 17 V for signalling circuits, so it can handle low-level PLC inputs without contact-wetting issues. Compliant with 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. Flame retardance meets UL 94 V1 and NF F 16-101/102. That covers most industrial control panels in North America, Europe, and China without additional certification work.","metaTitle":"Schneider TeSys K LP1K12106BD Contactor, 12A AC-3, 24VDC Coi","metaDescription":"Active 3-pole contactor, TeSys K series, rated 12A at 440V AC-3/AC-3e motor duty. 24VDC coil, 1NO aux.
