Why Choose the Lovato BF65T4A12060 4-Pole Contactor?
The Lovato BF65T4A12060 is a robust 4-pole power contactor designed for reliable switching of electrical loads in industrial control, distribution and automation systems. Part of the Lovato BF contactor family, this model provides a conventional free-air thermal current and AC-1 operational current of 100 A at up to 40 °C.
Designed for demanding industrial switching applications, the BF65T4A12060 combines four power poles with a 120 V AC, 60 Hz control coil. Its BF65 platform supports both screw and 35 mm DIN rail mounting, making the contactor suitable for integration into electrical panels, machinery and control assemblies.
The contactor has a rated insulation voltage of 1000 V and an impulse withstand voltage of 8 kV. In addition to its 100 A AC-1 rating, the BF65 platform is rated at 65 A AC-3 at 400 V, providing a versatile switching solution for resistive, slightly inductive and appropriate motor-control applications.

Power contactors such as the Lovato BF65T4A12060 provide electrically controlled switching of power circuits, allowing higher-current loads to be controlled from a separate low-power control circuit. The four-pole arrangement makes this model particularly useful where multiple conductors need to be switched simultaneously.
The Lovato BF range is engineered for industrial control panels and automation equipment, combining high electrical ratings with practical installation options. The BF65T4A12060's dedicated 120 V AC, 60 Hz coil makes it suitable for systems using this control voltage and frequency.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels.
- Resistive and slightly inductive load switching.
- Heating and electrical distribution systems.
- Industrial machinery and automation equipment.
- Motor control circuits within the contactor's applicable AC-3 ratings.
- OEM equipment and machine-building applications.
