Schneider Electric LC1K0610M7 6 A TeSys K Contactor 220-230 V AC

LC1K0610M7 contactor: a compact 6 A TeSys K mini contactor

The LC1K0610M7 is a Schneider Electric contactor described in the datasheet as: Contactor, TeSys K, 3P, AC-3, lt or eq to 440V 6A, 1 NO aux., 220 to 230VAC coil. The TeSys K contactor is the small-frame member of the TeSys line, used where space in the cabinet is limited. This reference is a three-pole 6 A AC-3 contactor with one NO auxiliary contact integral. Seven Star LLC supplies the LC1K0610M7 in Oman and the GCC as an independent supplier based in Muscat.

Reading the reference: LC1K marks the TeSys K three-pole contactor, 06 the 6 A frame, 10 the integral auxiliary configuration (one NO, as the datasheet title states) and M7 a 220 to 230 V AC coil.

Technical specifications of the LC1K0610M7

Power circuit and coil data of the LC1K0610M7

Utilisation categories: AC-3; AC-3e; AC-4. Rated operational voltage: Power circuit <= 690 V AC <= 400 Hz; Signalling circuit <= 690 V AC <= 400 Hz. Rated operational current: 6 A (at <60 °C) at <= 440 V AC AC-3 for power circuit; 6 A (at <60 °C) at <= 440 V AC AC-3e for power circuit. Motor power ratings: 1.5 kW 220 to 230 V AC 50/60 Hz AC-3; 2.2 kW 380 to 415 V AC 50/60 Hz AC-3; 3 kW 440/690 V AC 50/60 Hz AC-3. Coil voltage: 220 to 230 V AC 50/60 Hz. Coil operating limits: Operational: 0.8 to 1.15 Uc (at <50 °C); Drop-out: >= 0.20 Uc (at <50 °C). Inrush coil consumption: 30 VA (at 20 °C). Hold-in consumption: 4.5 VA (at 20 °C).

The coil is a low-power AC type without a built-in suppressor module (see the coil technology row); a separate suppressor can be added in front of sensitive PLC outputs.

Where mini contactors save space and where they do not

A TeSys K occupies about 45 mm of rail width and is useful for small motors, relays-in-place, lighting groups and control duties. The ratings in the datasheet (6 A at 440 V AC-3) mean it is for fractional-kilowatt loads, not for compressors.

The reference also has a hold-in consumption of only a few VA, so a control transformer can feed many of them. But at that size the mechanical and electrical life figures are lower than on the larger Deca contactors, so avoid it on loads with frequent starts and use the larger frame.

Choosing the LC1K0610M7: a short selection checklist

• Load current and category: 6 A at 440 V AC-3, or AC-4 at a reduced current.
• Control supply: 220 to 230 V AC coil.
• One built-in NO auxiliary contact; confirm if more auxiliary blocks are needed.
• Rail or plate mounting, and the width available in the panel.
• Overload protection fitted under the contactor.
• Operating rate (cycles per hour) listed in the datasheet.

Mounting, wiring and service life of the LC1K0610M7

Clip onto 35 mm rail or screw to a plate, wire with the screw clamps and tighten to the torque in the datasheet. Keep conductors within the section range stated.

Maintenance is limited to periodic tightening checks. For mini contactors controlling inductive loads, a coil suppressor or RC network reduces noise on adjacent control circuits.

Where the LC1K0610M7 is used in Oman and the GCC

In Oman and the GCC you see these in small pump and fan starters, HVAC control panels, lighting and power distribution control, and as interposing devices in PLC panels. Use IP-rated enclosures outdoors because the contactor itself is protected only at the finger-safe level.
