The Schneider Electric LP2K12015JD is a TeSys K reversing contactor — a 3-pole unit rated for AC-3 duty at 12 A up to 440 V, with a 12 V DC coil and one NC auxiliary contact. It comes preassembled with the reversing power busbar, so it arrives ready to wire into a motor-reversing circuit without sourcing separate interlock hardware. The AC-3 rating governs motor switching: 12 A at 440 V. The AC-1 rating covers resistive loads, and AC-4 covers plugging and inching duty.
If you are looking for a drop-in replacement, the closest functional equivalent within the TeSys K family would need to match the 3-pole reversing configuration, AC-3 12 A rating, and 12 V DC coil voltage — verify the physical footprint and busbar arrangement before committing a substitute to the panel layout.
The contactor measures 90 mm wide by 58 mm high by 57 mm deep, with IP20 finger protection per VDE 0106 — safe for open-panel mounting where accidental contact is a concern. The preassembled reversing busbar saves one wiring step: the mechanical interlock and power crossover are built in, so the installer only needs to land the motor leads and coil control wires. Mechanical robustness specs include 15 Gn shock on the closed contactor (Z axis) and 4 Gn vibration endurance — figures that suit it for industrial environments with moderate vibration, not extreme mining or crusher duty.
