Why Choose the Lovato BFX12C11 Side-Mount Auxiliary Contact Block?

The Lovato BFX12C11 is a side-mount auxiliary contact block with 1NO + 1NC contacts designed for use with compatible Lovato BF series contactors. It provides additional signalling, interlocking and control contacts without occupying the front accessory position of the contactor.

As part of the Lovato BFX contactor accessory range, the BFX12C11 is designed to integrate directly with compatible contactors and provide mechanically operated auxiliary contacts that change state with the main contactor. The combination of one normally open and one normally closed contact supports a wide range of industrial control-circuit functions.

Its side-mounting arrangement makes the BFX12C11 particularly useful where additional auxiliary contacts are required for PLC feedback, electrical interlocking, status indication or control sequencing. The purpose-designed construction provides a neat and dependable accessory solution for industrial control panels and machinery.

Key Advantages

  • 1NO + 1NC auxiliary contact configuration for versatile control and signalling.
  • Side-mounted design for compatible Lovato BF contactors.
  • Adds auxiliary switching functions without using the contactor's main power contacts.
  • Suitable for electrical interlocking, feedback and status indication.
  • Purpose-designed Lovato accessory for straightforward contactor integration.
  • Compact construction supports space-efficient industrial control-panel assemblies.

Key Features

  • Lovato BFX contactor accessory range.
  • One normally open auxiliary contact.
  • One normally closed auxiliary contact.
  • Side mounting on compatible contactors.
  • Mechanically operated in conjunction with the contactor.
  • Suitable for signalling and control circuits.
  • Supports contactor interlocking and operating-status feedback.
  • Designed for industrial electrical panels and automation equipment.

Reliable Auxiliary Control for Contactor Circuits

Auxiliary contact blocks extend the control capabilities of a contactor by providing additional low-power contacts that operate together with the contactor mechanism. The BFX12C11's 1NO + 1NC arrangement allows one circuit to close while another opens when the associated contactor changes state.

This functionality is widely used for electrical interlocking, contactor status feedback, control sequencing and signalling. By mounting directly to the side of a compatible Lovato contactor, the BFX12C11 provides an integrated solution without requiring a separate relay solely to obtain additional contact states.

Typical Applications

  • Contactor status and position signalling.
  • Electrical interlocking circuits.
  • Motor starter control systems.
  • PLC and automation-system feedback.
  • Industrial machinery control panels.
  • Control sequencing and indication circuits.
