The LC2K16107FC72 is a TeSys K reversing contactor from Schneider Electric — a 3-pole unit rated AC-3 at 16 A up to 440 V, with a 127 V AC coil and one normally open auxiliary contact. The AC-3 rating is the motor-switching duty class per IEC 60947-4-1: 16 A means it can handle a 3-phase induction motor drawing that current during starting and stopping, which is the real-world load for reversing starters on conveyors, pumps, or fans. The part ships preassembled with the reversing power busbar, so you don't need to source a separate mechanical interlock kit for the forward/reverse pair.
Fit and integration details
The 127 V AC coil is a common control voltage in older North American installations and some industrial sites running 120 V control transformers — verify your control circuit matches before wiring.
Mechanical and environmental robustness
Rated for shock and vibration per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6: contactor stays closed under 10 Gn on Y and Z axes, 6 Gn on X when open. Vibration tolerance is 4 Gn closed, 2 Gn open across 5–300 Hz. That's enough for most industrial machinery, including conveyors and compressors mounted near the source. Flame retardance meets UL 94 V1 and NF F 16-101/102, which is relevant for rail and transport applications where fire-smoke-toxicity requirements apply.
