Product details

The 48 V DC coil keeps the control circuit separate from the power side, which simplifies PLC output wiring.

AC-1 (resistive) and AC-4 (plugging/inching) are also listed, so this contactor can handle both resistive heater loads and the high-stress reversing duty where the motor is switched while still spinning. IP20 protection (finger-safe terminals) means it's intended for enclosure mounting — not washdown or outdoor exposure. The 57 mm depth and 90 mm width fit a standard DIN-rail footprint, and the preassembled reversing busbar saves panel space versus two separate contactors with a mechanical interlock kit.

Where it goes in a panel

Mounts on DIN rail inside a control cabinet. The 48 V DC coil draws from a power supply or PLC output card; verify the coil suppression matches the driver (free-wheel diode polarity matters for DC outputs). The IP20 housing keeps fingers off live terminals, but the contactor itself needs the enclosure's IP rating for the overall assembly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative within the TeSys K family?

The LP2K12015ED is the reversing contactor variant with a 48 V DC coil and 1 NC auxiliary. A direct sibling would share the same 3-pole reversing busbar and AC-3 rating but differ by coil voltage — for example, a 24 V DC or 230 V AC coil version. The mechanical footprint and busbar arrangement are identical, so swapping coil voltage is the main decision point.
