Part Overview and Key Ratings
The LC1K0601FE7 is a TeSys K contactor from Schneider Electric, configured with three normally open power poles and one normally closed auxiliary contact. It is rated for motor control duty under utilisation categories AC-3 and AC-4, with a rated operational current of 6 A at voltages up to 440 V for AC-3 switching — meaning it handles the starting and stopping of squirrel-cage induction motors within that current envelope, including occasional inching or plugging stops if the AC-4 rating is observed.
The contactor occupies a 45 mm width, 58 mm height, and 57 mm depth footprint — sized for DIN-rail mounting within a standard control panel enclosure. The 3-pole block with a side-mounted auxiliary contact fits the TeSys K rail profile, so a panel already wired for a K-series contactor accepts this unit without drilling or adapter plates.
For a field-service swap, verify that the control transformer or PLC output matches this voltage — a 24 VDC or 230 VAC coil variant exists in the TeSys K family but is a different order code. The single NC auxiliary contact is rated for signalling circuits at 6 A over 10 MΩ load, suitable for feedback to a PLC input or interlocking a safety circuit.
