The Schneider Electric LC1K06016M7 is a TeSys K three-pole contactor rated for motor control duty, with a 6 A operational current in AC-3 and AC-3e utilisation categories at 440 V. It carries a 220…230 V AC standard coil without a built-in suppressor module, and includes one normally-closed instantaneous auxiliary contact. The contactor is designed for control applications in motor circuits, switching loads such as pumps, conveyors, and fans up to its rated capacity.
The AC-3 rating of 6 A at 440 V governs motor switching — this is the current the contactor can make and break under inrush from a squirrel-cage motor starting. The AC-3e rating extends this to energy-efficient motors with higher inrush. AC-4 is also listed for plugging and inching duty, but at a reduced electrical durability of 0.05 Mcycles at 36 A. The 1.3 Mcycles electrical endurance at 6 A AC-3 is the figure a panel builder uses to estimate service life under normal motor starts. The 10 Mcycles mechanical durability sets the upper bound without electrical load.
This part is marked obsolete by the manufacturer.
Terminals accept lugs or ring terminals with a 7 mm outer diameter. The coil draws 30 VA inrush and 4.5 VA hold-in at 20 °C, dissipating 1.3 W. The non-overlap distance of 0.5 mm between NO and NC contacts ensures break-before-make timing. Operating altitude is 2000 m without derating; shock and vibration ratings are listed per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6 for both open and closed contactor states.
