Why Choose the Lovato BF26T2A04860 Four-Pole Contactor?

The Lovato BF26T2A04860 is a robust four-pole power contactor designed for reliable switching of industrial electrical loads. As part of the Lovato BF26 series, it features two normally open and two normally closed main contacts together with a 48 V AC 60 Hz coil, making it suitable for industrial control panels, machinery and automation systems requiring a dedicated 60 Hz control supply.

The BF26T2A04860 provides dependable switching performance with an IEC conventional free-air thermal current rating of 45 A. Its 2NO + 2NC four-pole configuration allows normally open and normally closed power circuits to be switched simultaneously, while screw terminals provide secure electrical connections for demanding industrial installations.

With a rated insulation voltage of 690 V, an AC-3 operational current rating of 26 A at 400 V and a dedicated 48 V AC 60 Hz control coil, the BF26T2A04860 combines versatile switching with robust industrial construction. Its DIN rail mounting format enables straightforward integration into electrical control panels and machine cabinets.

Reliable Switching for Industrial Electrical Loads

Power contactors such as the Lovato BF26T2A04860 provide electrically controlled switching for industrial loads, allowing a control circuit to operate higher-current electrical circuits reliably. The four-pole 2NO + 2NC arrangement is particularly useful where normally open and normally closed power circuits need to be controlled simultaneously within machinery, electrical equipment and automation systems.

The BF26T2A04860 combines two normally open and two normally closed main contacts with a dedicated 48 V AC 60 Hz control coil and a 45 A conventional free-air thermal current rating. Its high mechanical endurance, wide operating temperature range and DIN rail mounting make it suitable for professional panel building, industrial machinery and OEM equipment.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial electrical control panels.
  • Machine control and automation systems.
  • Four-pole 2NO + 2NC electrical load switching.
  • Industrial interlocking and control circuits.
  • Power distribution and industrial switching equipment.
  • OEM machinery using 48 V AC 60 Hz control circuits.
