Product details

The Schneider Electric TeSys K LC2K1610P72 is a reversing contactor, 3-pole, rated for AC-3 and AC-4 utilisation categories.

The 230 V AC coil is standard for European control circuits; verify your control transformer voltage matches. IP20 protection (VDE 0106) means finger-safe for panel installation — no additional enclosure required inside a standard IP54 cabinet. Mechanical robustness is specified: the contactor withstands 10 Gn shocks on Y and Z axes (closed) and 4 Gn vibrations at 5-300 Hz (closed), per IEC 60068-2-27 and 60068-2-6. This matters for applications on mobile equipment or near heavy impact sources.

This reversing contactor is sized for DIN-rail mounting in a control panel. The preassembled reversing busbar eliminates the need for external cross-wiring between the two contactors, reducing wiring errors and panel build time. Rated operational voltage on the power circuit is 690 V AC 50/60 Hz, so it can be used on 400 V or 480 V systems with headroom. Operating altitude is 2000 m without derating, covering most installations below that elevation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative to the LC2K1610P72 in the TeSys K family?

Within the TeSys K range, the standard (non-reversing) equivalent is the LC1K1610P7. The reversing version adds the mechanical interlock and preassembled busbar. For a different coil voltage, the same contactor frame is available with 24 V AC, 48 V AC, 110 V AC, or 230 V DC coils — the P72 suffix designates the 230 V AC coil.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for the LC2K1610P72?

The contactor carries flame retardance ratings of V1 per UL 94 and meets NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102 requirements. Protective treatment conforms to IEC 60068 and DIN 50016. The IP20 rating is per VDE 0106. Standard Schneider documentation includes the declaration of conformity for CE, UKCA, and EAC as applicable.
