Miniature contactor, TeSys K, I=16A [AC-3], 230VAC 50Hz coil, 1NC auxiliary contact, screw terminals LC1K1601P5

TeSys K miniature contactor – reliable motor control

This TeSys K miniature contactor from Schneider Electric is a robust solution for controlling motors and non-inductive loads. Designed for reliability and durability, it is suitable for both standard industrial applications and more demanding conditions. A rated current of 16A (AC-3) allows for effective control of motors up to 7.5 kW at 400V. The use of a 230VAC (50Hz) coil ensures compatibility with commonly used electrical installations.

Design and application

The LC1K1601P5 contactor is characterized by a compact design with dimensions of 45 x 58 x 57 mm, which facilitates installation in limited spaces. The possibility of mounting on a DIN rail or with screws further increases installation flexibility. Equipped with one normally open auxiliary contact (1NC), it allows the control system to be expanded with additional signaling or protection functions. Screw terminals ensure a secure and durable connection of wires.

This contactor is ideal for applications in the manufacturing industry, plastics processing, food, pharmaceutical and many other applications requiring reliable motor and load control. It will also work in building automation systems and HVAC equipment. Thanks to the high operating frequency of up to 600 cycles/hour, it is suitable even for applications requiring intensive use.
