The Schneider Electric LC2K12107M7 is a TeSys K reversing contactor, 3-pole, rated AC-3 at 12 A up to 440 V with a 220…230 V AC coil and one normally open auxiliary contact.
The AC-3 utilisation category rating of 12 A at ≤440 V governs switching of squirrel-cage motors during starting and plugging — the dominant load type for this class. For audit purposes, the AC-1 resistive rating would be higher, but the AC-3 figure is the one that determines whether this contactor handles the motor inrush without contact welding. The 220…230 V AC coil voltage is fixed; per the specification, the coil pull-in and hold range must be verified against the control transformer output at the panel.
Deployment context
The contactor mounts on a DIN rail within an enclosed control panel. The 57 mm depth and 90 mm width (per the dimensional data) fit standard cabinet layouts, but the preassembled reversing busbar occupies additional width — verify clearance against adjacent components before committing the panel layout.
