Why Choose the Lovato BFX10C10 Front-Mount Auxiliary Contact?
The Lovato BFX10C10 is a compact front-mounted auxiliary contact with 1NO configuration designed to extend the signalling and control capabilities of compatible Lovato BF series contactors. As part of the Lovato BFX10C auxiliary contact series, it provides an additional normally open contact for use in industrial control, interlocking, indication and automation circuits.
Designed for direct front mounting, the BFX10C10 provides a convenient way to add an auxiliary switching function without requiring a separate relay. Its screw terminals provide secure conductor connections, while the single-pole design keeps the accessory compact and straightforward to integrate with compatible Lovato contactors.
The BFX10C10 has a conventional free-air thermal current of 10 A, a rated insulation voltage of 690 V and a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV. It is rated A600-Q600 according to IEC/EN 60947-5-1 and is designed for front mounting on compatible Lovato BF160 through BF630 contactors.

Reliable Auxiliary Switching for Contactor Control
Auxiliary contacts such as the Lovato BFX10C10 operate mechanically with the main contactor to provide additional low-power switching functions. The normally open contact changes state when the associated contactor operates, allowing control systems to monitor contactor status or perform additional sequencing, signalling and interlocking functions.
The BFX10C10 is designed for direct integration with compatible Lovato BF series contactors. Its front-mounted format, screw terminals and industrial control ratings make it a practical solution for expanding contactor functionality in motor control centres, machinery, switchboards and automated electrical systems.
Typical Applications
- Contactor status indication and feedback.
- Motor starter control circuits.
- Electrical interlocking circuits.
- PLC and industrial automation signalling.
- Machine sequencing and control systems.
- Motor control centres and switchboards.
- Industrial electrical panels and OEM machinery.
