Why Choose the BF1801L048?

Engineered for reliable motor control, the Lovato BF1801L048 three-pole contactor (BF18 series) pairs a low-consumption 48V DC coil with AC-3 performance of 18A/7.5 kW at 400 V. It includes a built-in 1NC auxiliary with mirror contact function and mounts by screw or 35 mm DIN rail. Rated Ith is 32 A, meeting IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1.

Built for harsh environments, it offers 690 V rated insulation (Ui) and 6 kV impulse withstand (Uimp), with mechanical life to 20,000,000 cycles. Operating temperature ranges from −50 to +70 °C and installation is supported up to 3000 m, pollution degree 3. Terminals tighten to 1.5–1.8 Nm. Weight is 496 g, and UL/CSA ratings include 10 HP at 480 V.
