Product details

It is a 3-pole (3 NO main poles) device rated for AC-3 duty at 12 A up to 440 V, with a 100 V DC coil and one normally-closed (NC) auxiliary contact built in. The utilisation categories cover AC-1 (resistive), AC-3 (squirrel-cage motor starting/running), and AC-4 (plugging/inching), so it handles both standard motor starts and more demanding reversing or jogging applications.

This class of reversing contactor is used in motor control panels for applications that require direction reversal: conveyors, hoists, winches, door operators, pumps, and small machine tools. The preassembled reversing busbar simplifies wiring and reduces panel space compared to wiring two separate contactors with an interlock. The 1 NC auxiliary can be wired as an electrical interlock to prevent both contactors from closing simultaneously.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings I need to check for fit?

The critical ratings are: AC-3 switching current 12 A at 440 V, coil voltage 100 V DC, 3 NO main poles, 1 NC auxiliary, and IP20 finger-safe enclosure. Verify your motor full-load current at your supply voltage and your control circuit voltage match these.

What is the closest alternative in the TeSys K family?

Within the TeSys K range, the LP2K1201BD is the same reversing contactor but with a 24 V DC coil. The LP2K0901KD is a lower-current variant (9 A AC-3). Neither is pin-compatible in the sense of a drop-in replacement — the coil voltage must match your control circuit. If you need a different coil voltage, the TeSys K family covers 24 V DC, 48 V DC, 110 V DC, and 220 V DC variants in the same form factor.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

The contactor carries V1 flame retardance per UL 94 and meets NF F 16-101/102 for rail applications. The IP20 rating is per VDE 0106. Standard Schneider Electric declarations (RoHS, REACH, CE, UKCA) are available on request. The part is designed to IEC/EN 60947-4-1.
