Product details

The LP5K12103BW3 is a TeSys K reversing contactor from Schneider Electric, a 3-pole unit rated for AC-3 motor switching up to 12 A at 440 V, with a 24 V DC coil.

If you need a drop-in replacement, the closest functional match within the TeSys K family would share the same 3P, AC-3 12 A, 24 V DC coil footprint, but pin compatibility and busbar alignment must be verified against the specific panel layout.

For a 400 V system, that roughly corresponds to a 5.5 kW motor, though the exact sizing depends on the motor's full-load amps and duty cycle. The 24 V DC coil is standard for PLC-controlled panels, but note the coil draw is not listed here — verify against your output card's drive capability. The contactor's mechanical robustness specs (15 Gn shocks closed, 4 Gn vibration) indicate it's built for industrial environments with moderate shock and vibration, typical for machine tools or conveyors. Operating altitude is 2000 m without derating, so it's fine for most sites. Above that, expect to derate the thermal current. Storage temperature range of -50 to 80 °C is generous, but operating range is -25 to 50 °C — keep that in mind for unheated cabinets in cold climates.

The contactor carries V1 flame retardance per UL 94, and meets NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102 for railway fire-smoke-toxicity requirements. Protective treatment conforms to IEC 60068 and DIN 50016 for environmental resistance. IP20 per VDE 0106 provides basic finger protection.

Frequently asked questions

What replaces the LP5K12103BW3?

No official successor order code is listed. The closest functional match within the TeSys K family would share the same 3P, AC-3 12 A, 24 V DC coil ratings, but pin compatibility and busbar alignment must be verified against your specific panel layout.

What are the key ratings for this contactor?

It is a 3-pole reversing contactor rated AC-3 at 12 A / 440 V for motor switching, with a 24 V DC coil. Operational voltage goes to 690 V AC. IP20 rated for cabinet installation.

What compliance documentation does this part carry?

It has V1 flame retardance per UL 94, meets NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102 railway standards, and protective treatment per IEC 60068 and DIN 50016.
