Schneider Electric LP1K0601ND is a compact TeSys K three‑pole contactor designed for reliable motor control and general power switching duties. Rated at 6 A in AC‑3 applications up to 440 V AC, it features three normally open power contacts and one instantaneous normally closed auxiliary contact for control and signalling functions. The unit uses a 60 V DC coil with defined pick‑up and drop‑out operating limits, supporting consistent operation in demanding panels.
Built for straightforward installation, the LP1K0601ND can be mounted on a DIN rail or directly to a plate and connects via screw clamp terminals with a tightening torque of 1.3 N·m. It is engineered for high switching rates and long mechanical endurance, while maintaining compact dimensions (approximately 58 mm high × 45 mm wide × 57 mm deep) to help maximise space in control enclosures. Suitable for operation from −25 to +50 °C and up to 2000 m altitude, it is a practical choice for industrial control assemblies requiring a small, robust DC‑coil contactor with an integrated NC auxiliary contact.

| Product Description | Schneider Electric TeSys K LP1K0601ND is a compact 3-pole contactor designed for dependable motor switching duties, featuring a 60 V DC control coil and an instantaneous 1 NC auxiliary contact for control and interlocking in industrial panels. |
What type of device is this and what is it typically used for?
It is a compact 3‑pole contactor designed for motor control applications, commonly used to switch three‑phase loads in control panels and machinery where AC‑3/AC‑4 duties are required.
How many main power poles and contacts does it have?
It has three main power poles with 3 normally open (NO) main contacts (3P, 3 NO).
What auxiliary contacts are included?
It includes 1 instantaneous normally closed (NC) auxiliary contact.
What is the operational current rating for motor switching?
The rated operational current is 6 A in AC‑3 duty at up to 440 V AC for the power circuit.
What coil voltage does it use?
It uses a 60 V DC control coil (the LP1K0601ND variant).
What are the coil voltage operating limits?
At temperatures below 50 °C, the operational pickup range is 0.8 to 1.15 Uc, and the drop‑out range is 0.1 to 0.75 Uc (where Uc is the rated coil voltage).
Which utilisation categories does it support?
It is specified for AC‑3 and AC‑4 utilisation categories, covering typical motor starting/running duty (AC‑3) and more demanding inching/jogging or plugging duty (AC‑4), depending on the application design.
What is the rated operational voltage for the power circuit?
The power circuit is rated up to 690 V AC (50/60 Hz) for operational voltage, depending on the application and coordination.
What insulation and impulse withstand ratings are provided?
The rated insulation voltage (Ui) is up to 690 V (IEC) for both power and signalling circuits, and the rated impulse withstand voltage (Uimp) is 8 kV.
What mounting options are supported?
It can be mounted on a rail or on a plate, making it suitable for standard control panel layouts.
What type of terminals does it use and what tightening torque is recommended?
It uses screw clamp terminals. The recommended tightening torque is 1.3 N·m (usable with common screwdriver types such as Phillips No. 2, flat Ø 6 mm, or Pozidriv No. 2).
What are the typical operating times for opening and closing?
Typical operating time is 30–40 ms for coil energisation and NO closing, and around 10 ms for coil de‑energisation and NO opening.
What is the conventional thermal current (Ith) for the circuits?
The conventional free‑air thermal current (Ith) is 20 A (at 50 °C) for the power circuit and 10 A (at 50 °C) for the signalling circuit.
What ambient temperature and altitude ranges is it intended for?
Typical operating ambient air temperature range is -25 to +50 °C, with storage from -50 to +80 °C. It is intended for use up to 2000 m altitude without derating.
What are the approximate dimensions and weight for panel planning?
Approximate dimensions are 58 mm (H) × 45 mm (W) × 57 mm (D), with a net weight of about 0.225 kg.
