The Schneider Electric LC2K09015M7TQ is a TeSys K reversing contactor, a 3-pole unit rated 9 A in AC-3 duty at 440 V, so it handles motor switching up to that current for reversing applications. With the reversing function built in via mechanical interlocking, it saves panel space compared to wiring two separate contactors with an interlock kit. The part is rated for motor control and resistive loads, with AC-1 and AC-3 utilisation categories. It carries a single normally-closed auxiliary contact. The assembly is ready-mounted — no loose interlock link to install.
The AC-1 rating of 20 A covers resistive loads like heaters. The coil holds on 0.8...1.15 Uc and drops out at ≤0.20 Uc, so a 220…230 V AC supply must stay above about 176 V to keep it sealed. Mechanical interlocking prevents both contactors closing simultaneously — essential on a reversing contactor to avoid a phase-to-phase short. The 3-NO main pole configuration is standard for reversing. The IP2X finger-safe enclosure meets VDE 0106, so it's suitable for open-panel mounting where incidental contact is possible.
The power circuit accepts screw clamp, spring, or Faston connectors — wire sizes from 0.34 mm² to 4 mm² flexible with ferrule. The control circuit uses the same terminal types. Panel builders should note the 1.3 W coil heat dissipation at 50/60 Hz when calculating enclosure thermal load. Operating temperature range is -25…50 °C, storage -50…80 °C. Vibration resistance is 4 gn closed, 2 gn open; shock resistance 10 gn closed, 6 gn open.
