Overview
The LC1K0986FLS207 is a Schneider TeSys K contactor, 4-pole configuration with 2 normally open and 2 normally closed power contacts, rated for 20 A in AC-1 utilization category. The coil is 110 V DC with integral suppression, drawing 1.8 W holding power. Insulation voltage is 690 V, and the unit mounts to plate or rail with IP20 finger-safe protection.
Function & operation
The LC1K0986FLS207 uses a DC low-consumption coil with built-in suppression, eliminating the need for external flyback diodes or RC snubbers in most control circuits. The 1.8 W holding power keeps heat dissipation low inside the enclosure — relevant when multiple contactors share a panel. The 4-pole arrangement (2 NO + 2 NC) suits reversing or interlocking circuits where both make and break contacts are needed on the same device. Electrical life is rated at 0.18 Mcycles at 20 A AC-1 up to 440 V; mechanical life reaches 30 Mcycles, indicating the contactor is designed for high-cycle applications where the load is switched less frequently than the mechanism.
Applications
TeSys K contactors of this class are used in industrial control panels for switching resistive and lightly inductive loads — heaters, lighting banks, transformers, and small motors via contactor-only duty. The 4-pole format with mixed NO/NC contacts is common in HVAC compressor staging, conveyor interlocking, and machine tool reversing starters where the control scheme requires both a main line contactor and an auxiliary interlock on the same device.
Market & positioning
Within the Schneider TeSys K range, the LC1K0986FLS207 occupies a specific niche: a 4-pole contactor with a 110 V DC coil and integral suppression, rated 20 A AC-1. It is specified when the control voltage is DC and the application needs both NO and NC power poles — not just a straight 4 NO device. The 690 V insulation rating and compliance with multiple standards (IEC, UL, CSA, CCC) make it suitable for export panels and machinery bound for global markets.
Lifecycle & availability
The LC1K0986FLS207 carries an 18-month warranty from Schneider. Product certifications include CB Scheme, CCC, UL, CSA, EAC, CE, and UKCA. Standards compliance covers IEC 60947, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, and EN 45545 (fire behavior for rail vehicles). The part is listed as active production; no end-of-life notification is indicated in the evidence. For current lead time and pricing, submit an RFQ.
