Product details

The Schneider Electric TeSys K LC2K12013B72 is a 3-pole reversing contactor rated for AC-3 duty at 12 A up to 440 V, with a 24 V AC coil and one NC auxiliary contact. It ships preassembled with the reversing power busbar, so the interlocking and bus wiring are already in place — no separate reversing kit to source or wire on the bench. Rated for AC-1 (resistive), AC-3 (squirrel-cage motor starting), and AC-4 (plugging/inching) utilisation categories, this contactor handles both motor control and resistive loads. The 24 V AC coil keeps control voltage low for safety circuits, common in panel designs where 24 VAC is the control bus.

This is the factory-assembled reversing variant of the single-direction TeSys K contactor. The preassembled reversing busbar reduces panel assembly time.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative in the TeSys K family?

The single-direction equivalent is the LC1K12013B72 (same ratings, same coil, same footprint but without the reversing busbar and mechanical interlock). If you need reversing but have the LC1K already on hand, the LA1K reversing interlock kit can be added to two LC1K contactors — though the LC2K preassembled version saves panel wiring time.

What approvals and compliance documentation does this part carry?

Flame retardance is V1 per UL 94 and meets NF F 16-101/102 for railway fire-smoke requirements. Protective treatment conforms to IEC 60068 and DIN 50016. Shock and vibration tested per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6. IP20 finger-safe per VDE 0106.

What are the key electrical ratings?

AC-3 rated operational current 12 A at ≤440 V, 24 V AC coil voltage, one NC auxiliary contact. Rated operational voltage for the power circuit is 690 V AC 50/60 Hz. Utilisation categories cover AC-1, AC-3, and AC-4.
