BF18T2A02460 - 4P CONTACTOR 2NO+2NC 32A 24V 60HZ

Why Choose the BF18T2A02460?

Designed for dependable switching in industrial control panels, the Lovato BF18 four-pole contactor BF18T2A02460 pairs a 24VAC 60Hz coil with 2NO and 2NC contacts. It is rated 32A AC1 and 18A/7.5 kW AC3 at 400 V to cover common motor and resistive loads. Screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting makes installation straightforward, with compliance to IEC/EN/BS 60947 standards for UK-spec control gear.

Engineered for long service life, the device provides Ui 690 V insulation and 6 kV impulse withstand, with a mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles. Operating from -50 to 70 °C and up to 3000 m altitude, it fits robust panel designs. Terminals tighten to 1.5–1.8 Nm, while UL/CSA ratings include 10 HP at 480 V. Pollution degree 3 construction supports consistent performance.
