The Schneider TeSys LC1K16106M7 is a 3-pole contactor built for motor control in the AC-3 duty class. It's rated to switch 16 A under those motor loads, with an electrical endurance of 1.3 million cycles – enough for years of daily starting in a pump or fan panel. The coil draws 4.5 VA holding power and 30 VA inrush at 20 °C, and it's shipped without a built-in suppressor module, so you add the RC snubber or varistor to match the control voltage. Out here in the grease, 10 million mechanical cycles means you'll retire the machine before this contactor gives up. The contacts are rated for a minimum switching of 5 mA at 17 V, so it'll handle signalling circuits alongside the power poles. Panel footprint is compact at 45 mm wide by 58 mm tall – fits a standard DIN rail without eating up the whole enclosure.
Heat dissipation is 1.3 W steady-state, so no special ventilation needed in a typical steel enclosure. The 1 NO auxiliary contact is integrated and rated for the same AC-3 duty as the main poles. If you need more aux contacts, snap-on TeSys K auxiliary blocks exist – but verify compatibility with the LC1K frame.
This contactor meets EN/IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No. 60947-4-1, and JIS C8201-4-1. It also complies with IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and the Annex JJ requirements for appliance applications. The housing flame retardance is V1 per UL 94. You can expect the standard UL/CE/CCC marks on the nameplate.
