Product Description
Benefits & Applications
The Schneider Electric LC1K1210N7 is a compact 12A miniature IEC contactor from the TeSys K series, engineered for reliable switching of small three-phase motors, resistive loads, and control circuits. Designed for space-constrained control panels, HVAC equipment, and OEM machinery, this contactor delivers high endurance, quiet operation, and fast DIN-rail mounting.
With a built-in 1NO auxiliary contact and a robust 120V AC coil (N7), the LC1K1210N7 offers flexible integration into commercial and industrial control systems. Its compact form factor makes it an ideal replacement for older, bulkier contactors in existing equipment upgrades.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase motors up to 5.5 kW
- HVAC systems, fan coils, condensers, and air handlers
- Compact industrial automation panels
- OEM machinery and process equipment
- Lighting, resistive loads, and remote switching applications
Technical Advantages
- Miniature TeSys K footprint for tight control panel layouts
- 12A AC-3 rating for dependable motor switching
- Integrated 1NO auxiliary contact for control logic
- 120V AC coil (N7) suitable for common control voltages
- High mechanical and electrical endurance
- Quick DIN-rail snap mounting or panel mount capability
- Compatible with Schneider TeSys K overload relays
Compatibility Notes
The LC1K1210N7 belongs to the Schneider Electric TeSys K miniature contactor family and is commonly used as a direct replacement for older LC1K12 and compact LC1D alternatives with the same control voltage. It is fully compatible with:
- Schneider TeSys K thermal overload relays
- LC1K starter accessories and auxiliary blocks
- IEC control panels requiring compact starter assemblies
If your system requires a 12A contactor with a 120V AC coil and a miniature footprint, the LC1K1210N7 is the Schneider OEM-specified choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does “1210” mean in LC1K1210N7?
“1210” indicates the auxiliary contact configuration: 1 Normally Open (1NO) and 0 Normally Closed (0NC).
Q: What is the coil voltage of the LC1K1210N7?
The “N7” suffix indicates a 120V AC coil, commonly used in industrial control systems and HVAC panels.
Q: How is the LC1K different from LC1D contactors?
LC1K contactors are miniature IEC contactors designed for compact spaces. The LC1D series is larger and intended for higher-power applications.
Q: Can the LC1K1210N7 mount on DIN rail?
Yes. It mounts directly onto standard 35mm DIN rail and can also be panel-mounted if needed.
Q: Which overload relay pairs with LC1K1210N7?
Use Schneider TeSys K thermal overload relays matched to your motor’s full-load amp (FLA) rating.
