The Schneider Electric LP2K1201KD3 is a TeSys K reversing contactor — three-pole, rated for AC-3 motor duty up to 12 A at ≤440 V, with a 100 V DC coil and one NC auxiliary contact. It arrives preassembled with the reversing power busbar, so it bolts straight into a reversing starter cabinet without extra wiring between the two contactors. Rated operational voltage for the power circuit is 690 V AC 50/60 Hz, and the utilisation categories cover AC-1 (resistive), AC-3 (motor start/run), and AC-4 (plugging/inching). That means it handles both steady resistive loads and the inrush of squirrel-cage motors, including the severe switching of reversing duty. IP20 finger-safe protection (per VDE 0106) suits it for enclosed panel mounting — no exposed live parts on the front face once installed.

Frequently asked questions
What replaces the LP2K1201KD3?
No official successor order code is recorded. A functionally equivalent reversing contactor from the TeSys family or another brand will need to be selected based on the same AC-3 current, coil voltage, and pole configuration.
What are the key ratings of the LP2K1201KD3?
Three-pole reversing contactor, AC-3 motor duty 12 A at ≤440 V, 100 V DC coil, one NC auxiliary contact, preassembled with reversing busbar. Rated operational voltage 690 V AC 50/60 Hz, IP20 protection, operating temperature -25 to 50 °C.
What compliance documentation does this part carry?
Flame retardance to UL 94 V1 and NF F 16-101/102. Protective treatment to IEC 60068 and DIN 50016. IP20 per VDE 0106. No RoHS/REACH statement is present in the available record.
