The Schneider Electric LC1K06106L7 is a TeSys K series 3-pole contactor rated for motor control in AC-3 and AC-3e utilisation categories at 6 A up to 440 V, with an additional AC-4 rating for inching/jogging duty. The coil is a 200-208 V AC standard type without a built-in suppressor module, so you will need to add an RC snubber or varistor across the coil if driving it from a PLC output or solid-state relay. It carries a single normally-open instantaneous auxiliary contact (1 NO) for feedback or interlocking. The contactor is rated for 10 million mechanical cycles and 1.3 million electrical cycles at the AC-3 rating, with a maximum operating rate of 3600 cycles per hour.
The physical footprint (57 mm depth, 45 mm width, 58 mm height) and ring-lug terminal style are consistent across the K-frame contactors.
The AC-3 rating of 6 A at 440 V governs motor switching — this contactor is sized for small three-phase motors up to roughly 2.2 kW at 400 V. The AC-4 rating drops to 36 A but only for 50,000 cycles, reflecting the severe duty of plugging or inching. If your application requires frequent reversing or jogging, factor that reduced electrical life into your maintenance schedule. The coil draws 30 VA inrush and 4.5 VA holding at 20 °C, dissipating 1.3 W. The control circuit operates from 0.8 to 1.15 times the rated coil voltage and drops out at 0.2 times Uc below 50 °C. Minimum switching capability is 5 mA at 17 V for the signalling circuit, so it can interface with low-level PLC inputs without issues. Standards compliance includes EN/IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, and JIS C8201-4-1, plus IEC 60335-1 and UL 60335-2-40 for appliance applications. The IP2X finger protection rating (VDE 0106) means it is safe for open-panel mounting but not for washdown environments.
