Why Choose the Lovato BF26T2A12060 Four-Pole Contactor?
The Lovato BF26T2A12060 is a robust four-pole AC power contactor designed for reliable electrical load switching in industrial machinery, control panels and automation systems. As part of the Lovato BF26 contactor series, it features four main poles arranged as 2 normally open (2NO) and 2 normally closed (2NC) contacts.
This contactor provides dependable switching performance for industrial electrical systems, with an IEC conventional free-air thermal current Ith rating of 45 A. It also offers an AC-3 operational current rating of 26 A at up to 440 V and an AC-4 operational current rating of 11.5 A at 400 V.
The BF26T2A12060 incorporates a 120 V AC 60 Hz coil and can be installed using screw fixing or on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Its IP20 power terminal protection when properly wired, wide operating temperature range and high mechanical endurance make it well suited to industrial control and machine-building applications.
