The LP5K12015BW3: Rated for control and motor switching duties: AC-3, AC-4, and AC-1 utilization categories apply for 3-pole NO power contacts. IP20 finger-safe protection (VDE 0106) and V1 flame retardance (UL 94) mean it's panel-mount ready without extra guarding. Operating ambient range –25 to +50 °C suits typical plant-floor environments.
Key ratings in practice
Preassembled busbar saves three power wires and shortens panel wiring time. It's a mechanical interlock built into the reversing configuration—no external interlock relay needed. Mechanical shock ratings: 15 Gn closed, 10 Gn open along Z axis—good for high-vibration lines like conveyors or compressors.
No known pin-compatible second source in the TeSys K family. If you need an alternate, check the TeSys K catalog for a non-reversing contactor + separate mechanical interlock—but that adds panel space and wiring. This preassembled version is the drop-in choice.
