Why Choose the BF1201A048?
Lovato’s BF1201A048 three-pole contactor delivers dependable motor and load control in a compact form factor. With a 48VAC 50/60Hz coil and AC-3 rating of 12A (5.7Kw) at 400V, it covers a broad range of switching duties. A built-in 1NC auxiliary with mirror contact function provides reliable status feedback. Ui is 690 V with 6 kV Uimp, and mounting is via screws or 35mm DIN rail.
Engineered on the BF12 platform, it offers 28 A Ith (AC1) and a mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles. Operating from -50 to 70 °C and up to 3000 m altitude, it supports terminal torques of 1.5 to 1.8 Nm. UL/CSA 7.5 HP at 480V and conformity to IEC/EN/BS 60947 and UL/CSA standards help ensure compliance across diverse control panels.
