The Schneider TeSys K LC1K09016R7 is a 3-pole contactor rated for 9 A in AC-3 duty at up to 440 V, with a 440 V AC coil and one normally-closed auxiliary contact. For resistive loads (heating, lighting) it carries a higher current, but the AC-3 number is what you size against for a motor starter.

Frequently asked questions
What is the AC-3 motor rating and what does it mean?
The AC-3 rating is 9 A at ≤440 V. AC-3 covers starting and switching off squirrel-cage motors under load — that 9 A is the maximum motor full-load current the contactor can handle in that duty. For resistive loads (AC-1) it can carry more, but the AC-3 figure is the one to size against for a motor starter.
What approvals does the LC1K09016R7 carry?
Flame retardance is V1 per UL 94, and it also conforms to NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102 (French rail fire behaviour standards).
