The LC2K1601P7 is a TeSys K reversing contactor from Schneider Electric — a 3-pole, 3 NO power pole unit rated for AC-3 duty at 16 A up to 440 V, with a 230 V AC coil and one NC auxiliary contact. It ships preassembled with the reversing power busbar, so you don't need to source the mechanical interlock and busbar kit separately; it's ready to drop into a panel for forward-reverse motor control of a three-phase induction motor.
The AC-3 rating of 16 A at ≤440 V governs motor switching — that's the rating that matters for a standard squirrel-cage motor start/stop duty. Mechanical robustness is specified: the contactor withstands 10 Gn shocks on Y and Z axes (closed) and 4 Gn vibration at 5-300 Hz when closed, per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6. That's enough for most conveyor and pump applications, but if you're mounting it on a high-vibration press or mobile equipment, check the open-contactor limits (2 Gn vibration, 6-10 Gn shock) — the part is less tolerant when de-energized.
Where this class of part is used
Reversing contactors of this size (16 A AC-3) are used in motor control panels for small three-phase motors driving conveyors, hoists, door operators, and pump sets that need forward-reverse operation. The pre-assembled reversing busbar saves panel wiring time and reduces the chance of interlock wiring errors during commissioning.
