The Schneider Electric LC2K1610F72 is a TeSys K reversing contactor — a 3-pole unit rated for AC-3 duty at 16 A up to 440 V, with a 110 V AC coil and one normally open auxiliary contact. It comes preassembled with the reversing power busbar, so you don't have to wire the mechanical interlock and power crossover yourself. The AC-3 rating means it's built for starting and stopping squirrel-cage motors — the 16 A figure at 440 V covers motors up to roughly 7.5 kW in that voltage class. The AC-4 rating also covers inching and plugging duty, so it handles reversing applications where the motor sees full-voltage reversal under load. Rated operational voltage goes up to 690 V AC 50/60 Hz on the power circuit, giving headroom for 480 V or 600 V systems. The 110 V AC coil is common in North American control transformers.
