The Schneider Electric LP2K12107JD is a TeSys K reversing contactor — a 3-pole device rated AC-3 at 12 A up to 440 V, with a 12 V DC coil. It ships preassembled with the reversing power busbar, which means it arrives as a single unit ready to wire into a motor-reversing circuit without sourcing separate busbar hardware. The AC-3 rating covers squirrel-cage motor starting and switching off under load, so this contactor handles reversing applications like conveyor drives, hoist motors, or pump direction changes where the load is inductive and the contacts must break the motor current.
The preassembled busbar saves one wiring step during cabinet build. The 12 V DC coil draws from a control supply common in 24 V DC systems via a step-down or dedicated supply; verify coil inrush and hold current against your power budget.
Approvals and environmental specs
Flame retardance meets V1 per UL 94 and NF F 16-101/102, which is relevant for rail and industrial control panel compliance. Altitude rating is 2000 m without derating. Mechanical robustness is specified per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6: the contactor withstands 15 Gn shocks for 11 ms when closed, and 4 Gn vibrations from 5 to 300 Hz when closed — useful for applications on vibrating machinery or mobile equipment.
