The LC2K1210C72 is a TeSys K reversing contactor from Schneider Electric — a 3-pole, 36 V AC coil unit rated 12 A in AC-3 duty at 440 V, with one normally-open auxiliary contact. The utilisation categories cover AC-1 (resistive), AC-3 (squirrel-cage motor start/run), and AC-4 (plugging/inching), so it handles both motor control and resistive loads. It ships preassembled with the reversing power busbar, which saves panel-build time versus wiring two contactors and a mechanical interlock separately.
For resistive loads (AC-1), the thermal current is higher, but the AC-3 figure is the one that decides motor fit. The 36 V AC coil is a control-circuit voltage common in older industrial plants and some rail applications; verify your control transformer matches before wiring. IP20 finger-safe terminals (per VDE 0106) mean it is intended for enclosure mounting, not exposed installation.
The preassembled reversing busbar eliminates the need to wire a separate interlock between two contactors, reducing wiring errors and panel fill time. The 3 NO power poles and single NO auxiliary contact are fixed; if you need additional auxiliaries, they must be added externally via the TeSys K auxiliary contact blocks.
