The Schneider Electric TeSys K LC1K06105P72 is a 3-pole contactor rated for 6 A in AC-3 duty at up to 440 V, with a 230 V AC coil. The AC-3 utilisation category means it's designed for starting and stopping squirrel-cage motors — the 6 A rating governs the motor current it can switch, not the resistive load. Motor power capability ranges from 1.5 kW at 220–230 V AC up to 3 kW at 480 V and 660–690 V AC, so the same contactor covers a range of motor sizes depending on line voltage. The coil includes a built-in bidirectional peak limiting diode suppressor, which handles the inductive kickback internally — no external flyback diode needed across the coil terminals, simplifying panel wiring.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What are the key ratings of the LC1K06105P72?
It is a 3-pole contactor rated 6 A in AC-3 duty at ≤440 V, with a 230 V AC coil and one normally open auxiliary contact. Motor power capability is 1.5 kW at 220–230 V AC and up to 3 kW at 480 V or 660–690 V AC.
What is the physical size of this contactor?
The dimensions are 57 mm deep, 45 mm wide, and 58 mm high, fitting standard DIN-rail or panel-mount enclosures.
Does the coil need an external suppression diode?
No, the coil has a built-in bidirectional peak limiting diode suppressor, so no external flyback diode is required.
What compliance documentation is available for this part?
The contactor carries UL 94 V1 flame retardance rating and complies with NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102 for rail applications. Specific RoHS, REACH, or IEC declarations would be part of the manufacturer's documentation package for the TeSys K series.
