The Schneider Electric LC1K09106Q7 is a 3-pole contactor from the TeSys K series, designed for control applications switching motor loads up to 4 kW across a wide voltage range — 380...415 V, 440 V, 480 V, 500...600 V, and 660...690 V AC at 50/60 Hz, as well as 220...230 V AC. Rated operational current is 20 A, with AC-3 utilisation category rating of 9 A at ≤ 440 V — that's the motor-switching current that governs real-world sizing for standard squirrel-cage induction motors. AC-1 (resistive) and AC-4 (plugging/reversing) ratings also apply, so it covers inching and jogging duty as well. Flame retardance meets UL 94 V1 and NF F 16-101/102 requirements, suitable for rail and industrial panel environments.
The 20 A figure is the general-purpose thermal current for resistive loads (AC-1). Dimensions are compact: 45 mm wide, 58 mm high, 57 mm deep — standard for the TeSys K footprint, so it fits existing DIN-rail layouts without panel rework. Heat dissipation is 1.3 W, negligible for thermal budgeting inside a control cabinet.
