BF0004A230 - CONTROL RELAY 4NC 230V 50/60HZ

Why Choose the BF0004A230?

Lovato BF0004A230 is a compact control relay for dependable switching in control relays with AC and DC control circuit applications. Equipped with a 230 VAC 50/60 Hz AC coil and four normally-closed auxiliary contacts (4NC), this 4‑pole unit suits panel builders seeking robust logic functions. Rated insulation is 690 V with 6 kV impulse withstand for confident performance in industrial environments.

Designed for reliability, it offers a 10 A thermal current (Ith) and an exceptional mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles. Mount with screws or on 35 mm DIN rail, and tighten terminals to 1.5–1.8 Nm. Operates from −50 to 70 °C, up to 3000 m altitude, pollution degree 3. Conforms to IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-5-1, plus UL and CSA equivalents.
