Product details

Part identity and what it does

The 1NO auxiliary contact gives you one feedback or interlock signal without adding a side-mount block.

AC-3e extends the rating to energy-efficient motors with higher inrush. The 24 V AC coil is common in older control transformers; verify your control voltage matches because AC coils draw higher inrush than DC and won't pick below about 20 V.

Rated for -25 to 50 °C ambient operation and -50 to 80 °C storage. The contactor holds closed through 10 Gn shocks on Y and Z axes, 6 Gn on X when open — enough for most industrial panel environments. V1 flame retardance per UL 94 and NF F 16-101/102 covers rail and industrial fire-safety requirements. Altitude derating starts above 2000 m.

The contactor measures 90 mm wide by 58 mm high by 57 mm deep. The preassembled reversing busbar saves panel space compared to wiring two separate contactors with an interlock, but the 90 mm width means you need that much rail per reversing pair. The 3 NO power poles are all main contacts; no built-in NC for mechanical interlock — that's handled by the busbar and the contactor's own interlock mechanism.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative to the LC2K1610B7 in the TeSys K family?

Within the TeSys K family, the closest alternative would be a reversing contactor with a different coil voltage — for example, the LC2K1610B7 uses a 24 V AC coil, while variants with 48 V AC, 110 V AC, or 24 V DC coils exist. The power pole rating (16 A AC-3) and the 1NO auxiliary contact remain the same across those variants. No pin-compatible drop-in with a different rating exists within the same frame size.

What is the depth of the LC2K1610B7?

The LC2K1610B7 has a depth of 57 mm. Combined with its 90 mm width and 58 mm height, it fits a standard DIN-rail footprint with a 35 mm rail clip.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for the LC2K1610B7?

The LC2K1610B7 carries V1 flame retardance per UL 94, plus compliance with NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102 for rail fire safety. It meets IEC 60068 for shock and vibration, and IEC 60068-2-27 for mechanical robustness. The protective treatment conforms to IEC 60068 and DIN 50016. Full RoHS, REACH, and CE declarations are available from Schneider Electric's documentation portal for the TeSys K series.
