Product details

It's a control-circuit contactor rated for AC-1 utilisation (resistive loads) and carries a 200 V DC coil. The 200 V DC coil pulls 3 W at 20 °C and operates within 0.8 to 1.15 Uc for pick-up; drop-out range is 0.1 to 0.75 Uc below 50 °C. That means it holds in cleanly on a regulated 200 VDC bus but drops out reliably if the supply sags below about 150 V — useful for safety circuits where you want a known de-energised state.

Rated breaking capacity is 110 A at 440 V, 80 A at 500 V, and 70 A at 660–690 V per IEC 60947. That's the fault-clearing ability of the contactor itself — it can interrupt those currents without welding its own contacts. For branch-circuit protection, the evidence calls for a 25 A gG or aM fuse upstream on the power circuit. Rated insulation voltage (Ui) is 600 V per UL 508 and CSA C22.2 No 14, and 690 V per IEC 60947-4-1. Electrical durability is 0.3 million cycles at 20 A AC-1 at up to 440 V; mechanical durability is 5 million cycles. The AC-1 rating means resistive loads only — don't use this for motor starting (AC-3) without checking the manufacturer's derating. The 3600 cycles/hour maximum operating rate tells you it's not a high-speed chopper; it's a load-switching contactor for occasional reversals.

Screw-clamp terminals accept 1.5 to 4 mm² solid or 0.75 to 4 mm² flexible (without ferrule), or 0.34 to 2.5 mm² flexible with ferrule. Tightening torque is 1.3 N·m with a No. 2 Philips or 6 mm flat screwdriver. IP20 finger-safe protection per VDE 0106 means it's safe for panel interiors where qualified personnel have access — not for washdown or outdoor use without an enclosure.

Designed and tested to BS 5424, IEC 60947, VDE 0660, and NF C 63-110. Flame retardance is V1 per UL 94, plus Requirement 2 per NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102 (railway fire-smoke-toxicity standards). Protective treatment is TC per IEC 60068 and DIN 50016 (resistance to tropical climates). Overvoltage category III — suitable for fixed-installation distribution panels. Safety reliability data is provided: B10d of 1,369,863 cycles with nominal load per EN/ISO 13849-1, and 20 million cycles with mechanical load only. That's enough for safety function calculations in machine guarding circuits where the contactor is part of the safety chain.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative to the LP2K12004LD in the TeSys K family?

The LP2K12004LD is a changeover contactor preassembled with a reversing busbar. A standard TeSys K contactor without the reversing busbar (e.g., a standard LC1K or LP1K) would require you to add the external reversing kit and mechanical interlock separately. The LP2K saves panel-build labour by integrating the busbar and interlock into one assembly.

What compliance documentation does this part carry?

It is designed to BS 5424, IEC 60947, VDE 0660, and NF C 63-110. Flame retardance is V1 per UL 94. Insulation voltage is rated 600 V per UL 508 and CSA C22.2 No 14, and 690 V per IEC 60947-4-1.

What is the depth of the LP2K12004LD?

The depth is 57 mm.

What is the range of the LP2K12004LD?

It belongs to the TeSys range, specifically the TeSys K product series.
