Why Choose the Lovato HR402CA230 Miniature Relay?
The Lovato HR402CA230 is a compact general-purpose miniature electromechanical relay designed for switching, interfacing and auxiliary control duties in industrial automation and electrical panels. Featuring 2 changeover (2C/O) contacts, it provides flexible switching of two circuits from a single relay coil.
The HR402CA230 is designed for a 230 V AC coil supply and features contacts rated at 5 A. Its DPDT contact arrangement provides both normally open and normally closed switching paths, making the relay suitable for control logic, interlocking, signalling, contactor control and interface applications.
As part of the Lovato Electric HR40 series, the HR402CA230 uses a compact plug-in format for installation with a compatible relay socket. This arrangement allows convenient panel wiring and straightforward relay replacement, making it well suited to machinery, automation equipment and general industrial control systems operating with a 230 V AC control supply.

Flexible Electromechanical Switching for Control Systems
General-purpose relays such as the Lovato HR402CA230 allow a control voltage to operate electrically isolated switching contacts. With 2 changeover contacts, the relay can switch two circuits between normally closed and normally open states, providing a versatile solution for machine logic, interlocking, signalling and interface functions.
The miniature plug-in format is particularly useful in industrial control panels because the relay can be removed from its compatible socket without disturbing permanent panel wiring. This helps simplify testing, servicing and replacement while providing a practical interface between 230 V AC control circuitry and connected electrical equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control and automation panels.
- Machine control circuits.
- PLC and controller interfacing.
- Contactor and auxiliary device control.
- Alarm and signalling circuits.
- Building automation systems.
- Electrical interlocking and control logic.
- General-purpose switching using a 230 V AC control supply.
