The LP5K06013BW3 is a TeSys K reversing contactor from Schneider Electric — 3 poles, rated AC-3 up to 440 V at 6 A, with a 24 V DC coil and one NC auxiliary contact. That's another SKU I don't need to build from loose parts.
The AC-3 rating at 6 A up to 440 V tells you it's sized for standard squirrel-cage motor starting — that's the utilisation category for starting and stopping motors under load, not for resistive heating.
Mechanical and environmental robustness
It's built to handle vibration and shock: 4 Gn closed, 2 Gn open on the 5–300 Hz band, and shock ratings of 15 Gn closed on Z and X axes. That means it holds in on a conveyor line or a machine tool with moderate vibration. Flame retardance meets UL 94 V1 and NF F 16-101/102, which is typical for rail and industrial equipment requiring self-extinguishing materials.
