Why Choose the BF12T4A230?
Designed for dependable control performance, the Lovato BF12T4A230 is a four‑pole contactor built for versatile panel applications. With an AC coil for 50/60Hz at 230V and an IEC AC1 Ith rating of 28A, it delivers robust switching for resistive loads. Flexible screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting speeds installation, while a high Ui of 690V and 6kV impulse withstand enhance insulation safety across demanding industrial environments.
Rated 12A/5.7kW in AC3 at 400V and 7.5 HP at 480V (UL/CSA), this BF12 series device combines long mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles with a wide -50 to 70°C operating range. Conformance to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, plus UL and CSA standards, supports panel compliance, making it a reliable choice for motor duties and general AC control circuits.
