The LC2K1601C7 is a TeSys K reversing contactor from Schneider Electric — a 3-pole unit preassembled with a reversing power busbar, rated for AC-3 duty up to 440 V at 16 A, with a 36 V AC coil and one NC auxiliary contact. The AC-3 rating (16 A at ≤440 V) means it handles starting and stopping of squirrel-cage motors under load — the typical duty for a reversing contactor in a motor-reversing or star-delta circuit. The AC-4 utilisation category also covers plugging and inching, so it's rated for the higher electrical stress of reversing under full load. The 36 V AC coil is a control-voltage common in older European panel designs; verify your control transformer taps before wiring.
At 57 mm deep, 90 mm wide, and 58 mm high, the LC2K1601C7 fits a standard DIN-rail footprint — common in control panels where space is tight. Operating temperature range is -25 to 50 °C, with storage from -50 to 80 °C, and it operates without derating up to 2000 m altitude — fine for most industrial sites but check if your installation is above that threshold.
The contactor carries a V1 flame-retardance rating per UL 94 and meets NF F 16-101/102 for railway fire behaviour. It is also protected against corrosive atmospheres per IEC 60068 and DIN 50016 (TC treatment). Shock and vibration ratings per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6 are specified for both closed and open contactor states — useful for applications on mobile equipment or near heavy machinery.
