BF1201L048 - 3P CONTACTOR 1NC 12A AC3 48VDC LOW C.

Why Choose the BF1201L048?

Lovato BF1201L048 is a robust three‑pole contactor designed for reliable motor switching under AC-3 duty. With a 12A AC3 rating at 400V and a low-consumption 48V DC coil, it reduces control power demand. A built‑in 1NC auxiliary with mirror contact function enhances safety signalling. Flexible screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting streamlines panel integration.

Engineered for demanding environments, BF12-series construction delivers 690 V Ui insulation and 6 kV impulse withstand, with 28 A Ith (AC1) capability. It operates from -50 to 70 °C, up to 3000 m altitude, pollution degree 3, and offers 20,000,000 mechanical cycles. Certified to IEC/EN/BS 60947 and UL/CSA standards, it supports 7.5 HP at 480 V and weighs 500 g.
