The Schneider Electric LC8K06105U7 is a TeSys K reversing contactor, 3-pole, rated for AC-3 duty at ≤440 V 6 A, with a 230-240 VAC coil and one normally open auxiliary contact. It is a preassembled unit with a reversing power busbar, designed for motor control applications where forward/reverse switching is needed — conveyors, hoists, or any reversing load. The AC-3 rating (6 A at ≤440 V) covers squirrel-cage motor starting and disconnecting under load. That is a tougher thermal cycle than standard AC-3, so the contactor is built for reversing applications that see frequent direction changes. The AC-3 current rating of 6 A is at ≤440 V.
Sourcing reality — obsolete part
A functional replacement would need to match the 3-pole reversing contactor form factor, 6 A AC-3 at ≤440 V, and 230-240 VAC coil voltage. The TeSys K series has been superseded by later TeSys ranges, but pin-compatibility and footprint must be verified against the specific panel layout.
