Why Choose the Lovato RFX42036 Mounting Links?
The Lovato RFX42036 is a purpose-designed set of links for direct mounting an RF420 thermal overload relay onto compatible BF series contactors. Designed specifically for Lovato BF265, BF330 and BF400 contactors, the links provide the dedicated electrical and mechanical connection required to integrate the RF420 relay directly with the contactor.
Using the RFX42036 allows a compatible RF420 overload relay to be mounted directly onto the contactor rather than installed separately. This creates a compact contactor-overload assembly and provides a manufacturer-engineered connection arrangement, helping simplify installation and reduce additional power wiring within industrial motor control panels.
The RFX42036 is specifically intended for RF420 thermal overload relays used with BF265–BF400 contactors. Lovato lists the accessory at 474 g, with package dimensions of 110 × 85 × 26 mm, a package volume of 243.1 cm³ and EAN13 code 8013975318836.

Direct Integration of RF420 Motor Protection Relays
Lovato RF420 thermal overload relays provide three-phase motor protection with phase-failure sensitivity and manual or automatic resetting. The RFX42036 mounting links enable these relays to be connected directly to compatible BF265, BF330 and BF400 contactors, creating an integrated motor switching and overload protection assembly.
Direct mounting helps reduce separate power connections between the contactor and overload relay while creating a compact installation suited to industrial motor control centres and machinery. Because the RFX42036 is engineered specifically for the RF420 and BF265–BF400 combination, it provides a straightforward way to build a coordinated Lovato motor starter assembly.
Typical Applications
- Direct mounting of RF420 thermal overload relays.
- BF265, BF330 and BF400 contactor assemblies.
- High-current three-phase motor starters.
