Product details

It is rated for AC-3 duty (motor switching) up to 16 A at 440 V AC, which covers small three-phase induction motors typical on conveyors, pumps, and fans.

For resistive loads (AC-1), the thermal current is higher, but for motor control the AC-3 number is the one to match against your motor FLA. The 3 NO power poles handle the motor lines; the 1 NC auxiliary is wired into the reversing interlock circuit to prevent both contactors from closing simultaneously. Altitude derating kicks in above 2000 m; below that, no reduction in ratings is needed. Mechanical robustness is specified for shock and vibration per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6: the contactor withstands 10 Gn shocks on Y and Z axes (closed) and 4 Gn vibration at 5–300 Hz (closed). That makes it suitable for installation on machinery with moderate vibration, not just stationary panels.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative to the LC2K1601R7 in the TeSys K family?

Within the TeSys K range, the closest peer is the standard (non-reversing) contactor with the same coil voltage and AC-3 rating, such as the LC1K1601R7. The reversing variant adds the preassembled busbar and mechanical interlock; the coil and main pole ratings are identical. For a reversing application, the LC2K is the correct choice — the LC1K would require an external reversing kit.

What are the key dimensions of the LC2K1601R7?

Depth is 57 mm, width is 90 mm, and height is 58 mm — standard TeSys K footprint for a 3-pole reversing contactor.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

The contactor carries V1 flame retardance per UL 94, and conforms to NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102 for railway fire behaviour. Protective treatment conforms to IEC 60068 and DIN 50016. IP20 per VDE 0106. Standard Schneider declarations (RoHS, REACH, CE) are available through the brand's documentation portal.
