Product details

The Schneider Electric LC2K16105FC72 is a TeSys K reversing contactor — a 3-pole, preassembled unit with a reversing power busbar, designed for motor control in AC-3 and AC-4 duty. It is rated for AC-3 switching up to 16 A at 440 V, with a 127 V AC 50/60 Hz coil. The 1 NO auxiliary contact is built in, and the contactor is IP20 protected per VDE 0106, so it is intended for installation inside a control panel or enclosure where the live parts are not exposed to touch during normal operation.

The AC-3 rating of 16 A at 440 V is the figure that governs motor switching — it covers standard squirrel-cage motors during starting and running, where the contactor makes and breaks the load current. The AC-4 category also listed means it can handle plugging and inching duty, which involves higher electrical wear. The IP20 finger-safe rating means the contactor itself is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm, but it is not sealed against dust or moisture — it belongs in a clean, dry enclosure, not on a washdown line.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative to this reversing contactor in the TeSys K family?

The direct alternative would be a TeSys K reversing contactor with a different coil voltage — for example, a 24 V DC coil variant (order code LC2K16105M7) or a 230 V AC coil variant (LC2K16105F7). The pole configuration, current rating, and auxiliary contact count are identical; the coil voltage is the only difference. For a pin-compatible drop-in, match the coil voltage to your control circuit.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for this part?

The contactor carries IP20 protection per VDE 0106, flame retardance V1 per UL 94, and shock/vibration testing per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6. It also meets NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102 for fire behavior in railway applications. RoHS and REACH declarations are standard for Schneider TeSys K products; request these from your distributor with the RFQ.
