Why Choose the Lovato BF26T2D060 Four-Pole Contactor?
The Lovato BF26T2D060 is a compact and robust four-pole power contactor designed for industrial load switching, control panels, machinery and automation systems. Part of the Lovato Electric BF contactor range, it provides dependable switching performance with a 2 normally open and 2 normally closed contact configuration.
This BF26 contactor has an IEC conventional thermal current Ith of 45 A in AC-1 duty and an IEC AC-3 operating current of 26 A at up to 440 V, making it suitable for resistive loads, lightly inductive loads and selected motor switching applications. Its 60 V DC coil is suitable for DC control circuits, automation panels, battery-backed systems and OEM electrical assemblies where a 60 V DC control supply is specified.
The BF26T2D060 is designed for straightforward installation using screw fixing or 35 mm DIN rail mounting. With recognised international approvals, IP20 terminal protection when correctly wired, long mechanical life and compatibility with Lovato BF series accessories, it is a practical choice for professional panel builders requiring a four-pole contactor with mixed NO and NC contacts.
