Product details

It's rated for AC-3 duty up to 440 V at 16 A, which means it handles motor switching (starting, stopping, reversing) for loads like conveyors, pumps, or small fans. The 48 VAC coil keeps control voltage low for safety. Three power poles, all normally open, plus one normally open auxiliary contact for feedback or holding circuits.

Key specs that matter for fit

Mechanically, it's 90 mm wide, 58 mm tall, and 57 mm deep — a compact footprint for a reversing contactor, fitting standard DIN-rail enclosures. It's rated for operation up to 2000 m altitude without derating, and the storage temperature range is -50 to 80 °C. The contactor is also rated for AC-4 utilization (inching, plugging), though at a lower current — the AC-3 16 A figure is the one you'll size the motor circuit by.

Frequently asked questions

What replaces the LC2K1610E7?

There is no official successor order code listed. A replacement would need to be selected based on your motor current, coil voltage, and panel space — a parametric cross-reference is the right approach.

What are the key ratings for this contactor?

AC-3 rated at 16 A up to 440 V, with a 48 VAC coil. Three power poles (NO) and one NO auxiliary contact. IP20 protection, 57 mm deep.
