The Schneider Electric TeSys K LC2K1601F72 is a reversing contactor — three poles, normally open, with one normally closed auxiliary contact built in. The reversing pair is preassembled with the power busbar, so it lands as one unit ready for the panel. AC-3 rating is the one that matters for motor starting: 16 A at 440 V means it handles a 7.5 kW induction motor on a 400 V line without derating. The AC-4 category also covers plugging and inching duty, so it's not limited to simple start/stop.
IP20 finger-safe terminals per VDE 0106 mean it's suited for enclosed control panels where accidental contact is a concern. The preassembled reversing busbar saves wiring time — no need to build the interlock loop externally. Operating altitude is 2000 m without derating, so it works at most plant elevations. That covers unheated warehouses and warm cabinet interiors.
The 110 V AC coil is a common control voltage in North American and some European panels. If your plant standardizes on 24 V DC or 230 V AC, you'd look at the coil variant in the same TeSys K family — same contactor body, different coil code.
