The Schneider Electric LC1K16015P7 is a TeSys K series 3-pole contactor rated for motor control under AC-3 and AC-3e utilisation categories, switching 16 A at up to 440 V with a 230 V AC coil. It carries one normally-closed instantaneous auxiliary contact. This is a control-duty contactor — sized for smaller motor loads or pilot duty where panel space is tight, at 45 mm wide and 57 mm deep. The AC-3e suffix indicates it meets the energy-efficiency variant of that standard. Electrical durability is 1.3 million cycles at 16 A AC-3.
Integration notes
Mounts via solder pins (0.035 mm diameter) to a printed circuit board — this is not a DIN-rail snap-on part, so factor in PCB layout and hole pattern during panel design. Coil hold-in power is 4.5 VA at 20 °C, with an inrush of 30 VA. No built-in suppressor module on the coil — if driving from a PLC output or electronic controller, add an external RC snubber or varistor across the coil to protect the switching element.
