Product details

The 230…240 V AC coil is the control side: pull in and hold across that range, so your control transformer or PLC output must land within it. Utilisation category AC-4 is also listed — that covers inching and plugging, where the contactor opens under stalled-rotor current. If your application does frequent reversing under load, the AC-4 rating matters more than the AC-3 number; the 16 A AC-3 figure is the higher continuous rating, but AC-4 duty will demand a lower current per the manufacturer's derating curve.

IP20 finger-safe protection (VDE 0106) means the contactor can live on a DIN rail inside an enclosure without additional shrouding for standard touch protection. The 90 mm width × 58 mm height × 57 mm depth footprint fits a standard 3-pole reversing contactor slot — check your enclosure depth against the 57 mm, plus clearance for the preassembled busbar and any auxiliary blocks stacked on top.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative to LC2K16017U72?

Within the TeSys K family, a standard (non-reversing) contactor with the same coil voltage and pole rating is the closest functional match for a single-direction motor, but for reversing duty the LC2K preassembled busbar and mechanical interlock are purpose-built — a pair of separate contactors plus an external interlock would be a larger panel footprint and more wiring. No pin-compatible drop-in exists outside the TeSys K reversing range.

What is the depth of this contactor?

57 mm, measured from the DIN-rail mounting face to the furthest projection (typically the coil terminals or busbar).

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

The part carries V1 flame retardance per UL 94, IP20 per VDE 0106, and shock/vibration ratings per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6. Protective treatment conforms to IEC 60068 and DIN 50016. The manufacturer provides a standard CE declaration and UL/CSA file on request.
