The Schneider Electric LP5K06103BW3 is a TeSys K reversing contactor — a 3-pole unit rated AC-3 at 6 A up to 440 V, with a 24 VDC coil and one normally open auxiliary contact. It comes preassembled with the reversing power busbar, so it's ready to wire into a motor-reversing circuit without sourcing the mechanical interlock and busbar separately. The AC-3 and AC-4 utilization categories mean it's built for starting and stopping squirrel-cage motors, including plugging and inching duty. The 6 A AC-3 rating at 440 V tells you the motor full-load current it can switch — sized for smaller drives, pumps, or conveyors where direction reversal is needed.
The IP20 finger-safe protection (per VDE 0106) means the contactor body prevents accidental contact with live parts — standard for enclosed panel mounting. No washdown rating here; keep it inside a cabinet. The coil is 24 VDC — confirm your control voltage matches; a 24 VDC coil drops out below roughly 18 V, so keep the DC supply stable. Mechanical robustness specs show it withstands 15 Gn shock on Z axis when closed, and 4 Gn vibration from 5 to 300 Hz — suitable for industrial environments with moderate vibration from nearby motors or conveyors. Flame retardance meets UL 94 V1 and NF F 16-101/102 — relevant for rail and transport applications.
The preassembled reversing busbar saves panel space compared to wiring two contactors and a separate interlock.
