The LP2K1210UD is a TeSys K reversing contactor — 3 poles, 3 NO power contacts, preassembled with the reversing power busbar so it's ready to drop into a motor-reversing circuit without extra wiring. Its AC-3 rating of 12 A at ≤440 V is the number that governs motor switching: that's the current under starting and plugging duty, not the resistive AC-1 figure, so it directly sizes the contactor for a reversing motor starter up to that load. The coil is 250 V DC, which means the contactor pulls in on a DC control circuit — common in battery-backed or industrial DC control panels. Rated operational voltage on the power circuit goes to 690 V AC 50/60 Hz, giving headroom if the line voltage steps up. Ambient operating range is -25 to 50 °C, so it's fine in most ventilated enclosures but derate above 50 °C.
For a BOM line that calls out LP2K1210UD, the fit is confirmed by the AC-3 12 A motor-switching rating and the 250 VDC coil. No pin-compatible direct alternative exists within the same series at this exact rating — the LP2K series is organized by coil voltage and current; the 12 A AC-3 with 250 VDC coil is a specific intersection. If the coil voltage is wrong, the whole contactor must change.
