Product details

The LP4K12017BW3 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 VDC coil. The coil includes a built-in bidirectional peak limiting diode suppressor, which means you don't need to add an external flyback diode or RC snubber across the coil — the suppression is inside the contactor, saving panel space and one wiring step.

That's a compact footprint for a 12 A contactor — fits a standard DIN-rail slot with room for a thermal overload relay alongside. The 1 NC auxiliary contact is built in, so no separate aux block needed for a basic interlock or status feedback.

Frequently asked questions

What is the AC-3 motor rating for this contactor?

The AC-3 rated operational current is 12 A at ≤440 V. That is the motor-switching rating — match it to your motor's full-load amps, not the 20 A AC-1 resistive rating.

Does the coil need an external suppression diode?

No. The coil has a built-in bidirectional peak limiting diode suppressor. No external flyback diode or RC snubber is required.

What are the physical dimensions?

Width 45 mm, height 58 mm, depth 57 mm. Compact footprint for DIN-rail mounting.
