The LP2K12013BD3 is a TeSys K reversing contactor from Schneider Electric, a 3-pole device rated for AC-3 motor switching at 12 A up to 440 V, with a 24 V DC coil and one NC auxiliary contact. Rated for AC-1 resistive loads and AC-3 motor control, this contactor handles the inrush and breaking of inductive loads typical of small conveyors, pumps, and fans. The 24 V DC coil is common in PLC-controlled panels where low-voltage control is preferred.
For a replacement, the official successor within the TeSys K family is the LP2K12013BD3 — same order code, same ratings — but since that's also obsolete, the practical path is to cross-reference to a current TeSys Deca or TeSys Giga reversing contactor with matching pole count, coil voltage, and AC-3 rating. The 57 mm depth and 90 mm width give a baseline for panel fit.
At 57 mm deep, 90 mm wide, and 58 mm tall, the LP2K12013BD3 fits a standard DIN-rail footprint. IP20 finger-safe protection (VDE 0106) means it's suitable for enclosed panels where operators might reach in. Flame retardance meets UL 94 V1 and NF F 16-101/102, so it passes rail and industrial fire-safety requirements.
