The LC2K1601J7 is a TeSys K reversing contactor from Schneider Electric — a 3-pole unit rated for AC-3 duty at 16 A up to 440 V, with a 12 V AC coil and one NC auxiliary contact. It ships preassembled with the reversing power busbar, so you don't need to source and fit the mechanical interlock and busbar separately. That saves panel-build time when wiring a reversing starter for a motor that runs forward and reverse.
