Product details

The LP4K12016BW3 is a TeSys K 3-pole contactor from Schneider Electric, rated for AC-3 duty at 12 A up to 440 V with a 24 V DC coil. It carries one normally closed auxiliary contact and includes a built-in bidirectional peak limiting diode suppressor across the coil — no external flyback diode needed on the control wiring.

Integration note

The built-in diode suppressor on the 24 V DC coil means the control wiring needs no external snubber — verify polarity before energizing. The 3 NO main poles and 1 NC auxiliary contact are labeled on the nameplate; auxiliary wiring shares the same terminal pitch as the TeSys K block range.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for this contactor?

It is rated 12 A in AC-3 duty (≤440 V), 20 A in AC-1, and 16 A in AC-4. The 24 V DC coil draws 1.8 W inrush and 1.8 W hold-in at 20 °C. Dimensions are 45 x 58 x 57 mm.

What coil suppression does this contactor include?

A built-in bidirectional peak limiting diode suppressor is integrated across the coil terminals — no external flyback diode required.
