The Schneider Electric LC1K12106L7 is a TeSys K three-pole contactor rated for 12 A in AC-3 and AC-3e utilisation categories at 440 V, with a 200-208 V AC coil and one normally open instantaneous auxiliary contact. It carries approvals under EN/IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, and JIS C8201-4-1, plus appliance standards IEC 60335-1 and UL 60335-2-40 — meaning it is accepted in industrial control panels and HVAC equipment across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Electrical durability at that duty is 1.3 million cycles, which is typical for a compact contactor in light industrial use. The AC-1 resistive rating is 20 A, but that's for heater or lamp loads, not motors. The 200-208 V AC coil operates across 0.8 to 1.15 times the control voltage (160-239 V) and drops out reliably above 20% of Uc (about 40 V). Inrush is 30 VA, hold-in is 4.5 VA — the coil draws 1.3 W steady-state, so it won't overheat a crowded panel. Mechanical durability is 10 million cycles, and the contactor is rated for 3600 operations per hour — fast enough for repetitive cycling on a packaging line or conveyor. The built-in auxiliary is one NO instantaneous contact, minimum switching 5 mA at 17 V — sufficient for signalling a PLC input or status lamp.
