The Schneider Electric LC2K1601M7 is a TeSys K reversing contactor — a 3-pole device rated AC-3 ≤440 V at 16 A, with a 220-230 V AC coil and one NC auxiliary contact. Rated operational voltage on the power circuit is 690 V AC 50/60 Hz, and the utilisation categories AC-3 and AC-4 cover both normal starting and plugging/inching duty. The 16 A AC-3 rating at ≤440 V is the figure that governs motor switching — it handles squirrel-cage motors up to roughly 7.5 kW at 400 V three-phase.
If your customer's AVL or AML lists the LC2K1601M7 specifically, a deviation or change request will be needed to move to a current-production reversing contactor from the TeSys range. The physical footprint (57 mm depth, 90 mm width, 58 mm height) and the preassembled busbar arrangement are the dimensions any substitute must match.
