The LP2K12105ED is a TeSys K reversing contactor from Schneider Electric, a 3-pole device rated for AC-3 duty at 12 A up to 440 V, with a 48 V DC coil and one normally open auxiliary contact. The AC-4 rating covers plugging and inching duty, and AC-1 covers resistive loads, giving flexibility for non-motor switching. The coil is 48 V DC, which draws from a control transformer or battery-backed supply. Verify the coil suppression matches your DC bus — the contactor itself carries IP20 finger protection per VDE 0106, so it suits enclosed panel mounting.
Mechanical robustness is specified per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6: the contactor withstands 15 Gn shock (closed) on the Z axis, and 4 Gn vibration (closed) across 5–300 Hz. That is sufficient for most fixed industrial machinery but worth checking against high-vibration applications like mobile equipment or large reciprocating compressors.
The contactor carries V1 flame retardance per UL 94, with additional compliance to NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102 for railway fire-smoke-toxicity requirements. Protective treatment conforms to IEC 60068 and DIN 50016 for environmental resistance. Utilisation categories cover AC-1 (resistive), AC-3 (motor start/run), and AC-4 (plugging/inching), so the part is certified for the full range of standard contactor switching duties.
