What this contactor does and how it fits
The LC1K1610F7 is a TeSys K-frame contactor, rated for motor control in AC-3 and AC-3e utilisation categories. Three NO power poles handle up to 16 A; a built-in 1 NO auxiliary contact gives you a feedback signal without an add-on block. Mechanical life is rated at 10 million cycles, electrical durability at 1.3 million cycles under full load at 16 A AC-3. Coil hold-in power draws 4.5 VA, inrush 30 VA, with 1.3 W dissipation. Operate time (NO closing) is 10 to 20 ms; the same range for drop-out and NO opening. Minimum switched signal is 5 mA at 17 V for reliable dry-circuit indication.
