Product details

The 380…400 V AC coil pulls in across that voltage band, and the contactor is rated for AC-3 duty at 12 A up to 440 V, meaning it switches three-phase squirrel-cage motors on and off under load within that current envelope. It also carries AC-4 ratings for plugging and inching, and AC-1 for resistive loads.

The AC-3 12 A rating at ≤440 V is the headline motor-switching figure — it governs the maximum full-load current of the motor you can reverse with this contactor. For a 400 V three-phase induction motor, 12 A AC-3 corresponds roughly to a 5.5 kW output, though you should verify locked-rotor current and duty cycle against the AC-4 curve if the application involves frequent reversing under load. The coil is wound for 380…400 V AC 50/60 Hz, so it drops straight into a European 400 V line without a control transformer. Flame retardance meets V1 per UL 94 and NF F 16-101/102, which is relevant for rail and transport applications. The preassembled reversing busbar saves installation time compared to building a reversing pair from two individual contactors plus a mechanical interlock.

Mechanical robustness for industrial environments

The contactor is rated for shock and vibration per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6. With the contactor closed, it withstands 10 Gn on X axis and 15 Gn on Y and Z axes for 11 ms; open, it handles 6 Gn on X and 10 Gn on Y and Z. Vibration resistance is 4 Gn closed and 2 Gn open across 5…300 Hz. These figures matter for applications mounted on machinery or in mobile equipment where mechanical shock is a risk.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for the LC2K12015Q7?

It is a 3-pole reversing contactor rated AC-3 at 12 A up to 440 V, with a 380…400 V AC coil. It also covers AC-4 and AC-1 utilisation categories. Dimensions are 57 x 90 x 58 mm, and it carries IP20 finger-safe protection.

What is the closest alternative to the LC2K12015Q7?

No official Schneider successor order code is documented for this reversing contactor variant. A replacement would need to match the 3-pole reversing function, AC-3 12 A rating at ≤440 V, and 380…400 V AC coil. Check the TeSys K or TeSys D range for current reversing contactors with similar ratings, and verify the coil voltage and mounting footprint against your panel layout.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

The contactor carries V1 flame retardance per UL 94 and meets NF F 16-101/102 for rail applications. IP20 protection is per VDE 0106. Shock and vibration testing follows IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6. Specific RoHS/REACH declarations would be part of the original Schneider documentation package.
