Why Choose the Lovato BFX3401 Reversing Connection Kit?
The Lovato BFX3401 is a purpose-designed rigid connection kit for three-pole reversing contactor assemblies. Developed for compatible Lovato BF95 through BF150 contactors, it provides the power connections required when two contactors are installed side by side to create a reversing motor starter.
The BFX3401 simplifies the construction of forward and reverse contactor assemblies by providing pre-engineered rigid connections instead of individually fabricated wiring links. This helps produce a neat, consistent and reliable installation while reducing panel wiring and assembly work in industrial motor control applications.
Designed for use with BF95, BF115 and BF150 three-pole contactors, the BFX3401 is intended for side-by-side assemblies incorporating the Lovato BFX5403 mechanical interlock. The kit is suitable for industrial reversing circuits and has a 600 V AC UL rated operational voltage.

Reliable Connections for Reversing Motor Control
Reversing contactor assemblies use two contactors to change the phase sequence supplied to a three-phase motor, allowing the direction of rotation to be reversed. A purpose-designed rigid connection kit such as the Lovato BFX3401 provides the required power connections between compatible contactors while helping simplify assembly and panel wiring.
When used with compatible BF95–BF150 contactors and the BFX5403 mechanical interlock, the BFX3401 forms part of a coordinated Lovato reversing contactor arrangement. The mechanical interlock prevents both contactors from being mechanically closed simultaneously, while the rigid connection kit provides the dedicated power connection arrangement for forward and reverse operation.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase reversing motor starters.
- Forward and reverse motor control circuits.
- Industrial conveyors and material handling equipment.
- Hoists and machinery requiring bidirectional motor operation.
- Industrial motor control centres.
- Machine control and automation panels.
- OEM machinery and production equipment.
