Why Choose the Lovato BFX641230 Mechanical Latch?
The Lovato BFX641230 is a dedicated 230 V AC mechanical latch for BF95–BF150 contactors, designed to mechanically retain a compatible contactor in its operated position without requiring the contactor coil to remain continuously energised. Part of the Lovato BFX contactor accessory range, it provides a practical latching solution for industrial switching and control applications.
Designed specifically for Lovato BF95, BF115 and BF150 contactors, the BFX641230 incorporates an AC coil rated at 230 V, 50/60 Hz and uses screw terminals for dependable field wiring. Its coordinated design allows it to integrate directly with the compatible BF contactor platform.
Mechanical latching is particularly useful in applications where a contactor must remain mechanically held after operation. By retaining the contactor state mechanically, the BFX641230 supports control schemes where continuous coil energisation is undesirable, making it suitable for industrial control panels, machinery and specialised switching systems.

Reliable Mechanical Latching for Industrial Contactors
Mechanical latching accessories allow a compatible contactor to remain mechanically retained after it has been operated. This differs from a conventional contactor arrangement where the coil normally needs to remain energised to maintain the contactor in its closed state, making latching arrangements useful for specialised industrial control and switching sequences.
The Lovato BFX641230 is engineered specifically for the BF95–BF150 contactor range and combines a 230 V AC, 50/60 Hz operating coil with screw terminal connections. Its matched design helps panel builders and automation engineers incorporate mechanical latching into compatible Lovato BF contactor installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial contactor latching circuits.
- Motor control centres and electrical control panels.
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Power switching and control systems.
- OEM machine building and automation equipment.
- Applications requiring mechanically retained contactor operation.
