The Schneider Electric LC1K09016BLS207 is a TeSys K series 3-pole contactor rated for 9 A in AC-3 utilisation category at ≤ 440 V, making it suitable for switching three-phase motor loads up to that current. It also carries AC-1 (resistive) and AC-4 (plugging/inching) ratings, so it covers general switching and high-stress motor duty. The 24 V DC coil includes an integral suppression device, which simplifies panel wiring by eliminating the need for an external flyback diode or RC snubber across the coil terminals. Coil hold-in power is 1.8 W at 20 °C, a low-consumption design that keeps heat dissipation in the enclosure manageable — relevant when multiple contactors share a DIN rail. The contactor is rated for 30 million mechanical cycles and 1.3 million electrical cycles at 9 A AC-3, giving a solid service life for typical conveyor or pump cycling.
Its 45 mm width and 58 mm height fit the compact TeSys K footprint, leaving room alongside other control components in a standard 600 mm wide panel. The IP20 finger-safe enclosure (per VDE 0106) means it can be installed in a control cabinet without additional shrouding, though the power circuit terminals accept ring lugs with a 7 mm outer diameter — plan for lug clearance when laying out the gland plate. Tightening torque for the power circuit terminals is 0.8 to 1.3 N·m using a 3.2 mm flat or Philips No. 2 screwdriver. The single NC auxiliary contact is instantaneous, so it provides immediate status feedback without delay for the control logic.
This contactor is certified to EN/IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No. 60947-4-1, and JIS C8201-4-1, covering the main global markets for motor control. It also meets IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and the corresponding UL/CSA annexes for appliance applications, which is relevant for OEMs building equipment that must pass a household-appliance safety standard. The housing is rated V-0 flame retardance per UL 94.
