What this reversing contactor is and why it matters
The LP2K0601ED3: It is preassembled with a reversing power busbar, so the mechanical interlock and bus work are already in place for a motor reversing pair. At 6 A AC-3, it handles a 2.2 kW (3 HP) motor at 400 V three-phase.
Lifecycle status and sourcing reality
This part is marked obsolete by the manufacturer. Availability runs through independent surplus and broker channels. Quantities are lot-specific and confirmed at RFQ — no stock-holding claim is made here. The genuine part is sourced per the BOM line; same part, different passport.
The contactor measures 2.2 in (57 mm) deep, 3.5 in (90 mm) wide, and 2.3 in (58 mm) high. The IP20 finger-safe enclosure (VDE 0106) means it can be mounted in a control cabinet without additional shrouding on the front face, though the power terminals remain touch-safe only to the IP20 standard. Flame retardance is V1 per UL 94, with additional compliance to NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102 — relevant for rolling-stock or rail-adjacent installations where fire-smoke-toxicity requirements apply. Operating altitude is 2000 m without derating; above that, the dielectric strength and thermal dissipation must be recalculated per IEC 60947-1.
