TeSys K Miniature Contactors from Schneider Electric combine long mechanical and electrical life to offer a high reliable contactor. The range has been designed for integration in control systems and for inductive motor applications. The TeSys K contactors offer quick simple setup while maintaining compliance with international standards. A special armature structure design allows all devices in the range, either AC or DC, to have the same physical size and panel footprint for convenience.

• Built-in auxiliary contacts for added switching capability
• Screw connections: IP20 finger-safe terminals with both North American and International terminal markings
• Can be panel mounted with screws or DIN Rail mounted
• Easily installed accessories
• Instantaneous auxiliary contact
• Flexible control circuit to suit a wide range of applications
• High-fault short circuit current ratings provide the flexibility to select any component

Contactor utilisation categories define the current making and breaking values, based on the type of load to be controlled and the operating cycle conditions.
AC-1: This applies to all AC devices with a power factor of at least 0.95. Example of use: resistive load, heating, distribution.
AC-3: This applies to squirrel cage motors where breaking occurs while the motor is running.
Example of use: all squirrel cage motors, lifts, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, air conditioning units.

The LC1K series is suitable up to a maximum of 440 V ac in category AC4.

Yes the TeSys K range uses linear translation movement that provides double breaking of the poles.

Turn your circuit on and off with ease using this contactor from Schneider Electric. It works by opening or closing a set of contacts when its internal electromagnetic coil receives energy. The unit features a built-in auxiliary contact that monitors its operating state and swiftly notifies the control system of any changes. With a maximum operating rate of 3600cyc/h, you can rest assured that it keeps up with switching your circuit time and time again.

• Minimal heat dissipation of 1.3W for energy efficiency
• Contact current rating of 9A to withstand high-power loads in electrical systems
• Resistant to shock and vibration for durability in demanding conditions

• Construction equipment
• HVAC systems
• Lighting fixtures
• Power plants

When the coil is energised or de-energised, this contactor has an opening and closing time between 10 and 20ms to rapidly switch power to your circuit.

Thanks to its panel mounting design, you can mount this contactor by screwing it to the surface of your equipment. For versatility, you can also install it by simply snapping it on a DIN rail.
