Product details

The LC1K1601E72 is a TeSys K three-pole contactor rated 16 A in AC-3 utilisation category at ≤440 V, with a 48 V AC coil. It carries one normally-closed auxiliary contact and a built-in bidirectional peak limiting diode suppressor across the coil — that suppressor is already integrated, so no external flyback diode is needed when the coil is driven by a PLC or relay output.

Motor power across supply voltages

The contactor is rated for motor switching at several common line voltages: 7.5 kW at 380–415 V AC, 5.5 kW at 440 V AC, 4 kW at 480 V AC, and 4 kW at 500–600 V AC and 660–690 V AC. At 220–230 V AC it handles 4 kW. These are the AC-3 motor-duty figures — the AC-1 resistive rating is higher, but for motor loads the AC-3 number governs the real switching capacity.

This part is marked obsolete by the manufacturer. The built-in coil suppression and the 1 NC auxiliary are the features to match if evaluating a replacement.

Physical and compliance details

Flame retardance is V1 per UL 94. Heat dissipation is 1.3 W at rated operation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative to the LC1K1601E72?

No official successor order code is provided in the lifecycle record. When sourcing a replacement, the key specs to match are the 16 A AC-3 rating at ≤440 V, the 48 V AC coil, the 1 NC auxiliary contact, and the built-in coil suppression diode.

What are the motor power ratings for the LC1K1601E72?

The contactor is rated for 7.5 kW at 380–415 V AC, 5.5 kW at 440 V AC, and 4 kW at 480 V, 500–600 V, 660–690 V, and 220–230 V AC, all at 50/60 Hz under AC-3 duty.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

The contactor carries a V1 flame retardance rating per UL 94. Standard Schneider Electric documentation for the TeSys K range includes RoHS and REACH declarations, though specific certificates are not listed in this record.
