Product Description
Benefits & Applications
The Schneider Electric LC1K1210R7 is a compact 12A miniature IEC contactor from the TeSys K series, engineered for tight control panel spaces and OEM equipment where size, performance, and reliability matter. Its high-endurance miniature design provides dependable switching for small motors, HVAC loads, and automation equipment without taking up the footprint of a full-size IEC contactor.
This model features a 1NO auxiliary contact (1210 configuration) and an R7 coil code, making it ideal for applications requiring a specific coil voltage variant commonly used in machinery, HVAC systems, and compact automation panels. The LC1K1210R7 installs quickly on standard 35mm DIN rail and integrates seamlessly with Schneider TeSys K overload relays and accessories.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase motors up to 5.5 kW (12A AC-3)
- HVAC units, fan coils, and air-handling systems
- Compact OEM machinery
- Automation and process control equipment
- Lighting and resistive load switching
Technical Advantages
- 12A AC-3 rating for reliable motor switching
- Miniature IEC footprint for space-limited control panels
- Integrated 1NO auxiliary contact
- R7 coil code for specialized control voltage applications
- Quiet, high-endurance operation for frequent switching
- Tool-free DIN-rail mounting
- Compatible with TeSys K overload relays
Compatibility Notes
The LC1K1210R7 belongs to Schneider Electric’s TeSys K miniature contactor family and is widely used as a direct replacement for earlier LC1K12 models with the same coil voltage. It integrates with:
- Schneider TeSys K overload relays
- Accessory blocks and adapters for TeSys K starters
- Compact automation and HVAC control systems
If you require a 12A, 1NO miniature contactor with the R7 coil code, this model is the correct Schneider OEM specification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does “1210” mean in LC1K1210R7?
“1210” identifies the auxiliary configuration: 1 Normally Open (1NO) and 0 Normally Closed (0NC).
Q: What is the R7 coil voltage?
The “R7” coil code designates a specific Schneider coil voltage variant. Check your equipment label or manual to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q: How is LC1K different from LC1D contactors?
LC1K models are miniature contactors for compact panels, while LC1D models are full-size IEC contactors designed for higher-power industrial applications.
Q: Can the LC1K1210R7 mount on DIN rail?
Yes. It quickly snaps onto standard 35mm DIN rail and can also be panel-mounted.
Q: What overload relay matches this contactor?
Use Schneider TeSys K overload relays sized to your motor’s full-load amp (FLA) rating.
