BF18T2L048 - 4P CONTACTOR 2NO+2NC 32A AC1 48VDC L.C.

Why Choose the BF18T2L048?

The Lovato BF18T2L048 is a four‑pole contactor engineered for dependable switching in industrial control applications. With 2NO and 2NC contacts and a low‑consumption 48 VDC coil, it provides 32 A AC‑1 capacity and 18 A/7.5 kW AC‑3 at 400 V, plus a 10 HP rating at 480 V (UL/CSA). Screw or 35 mm DIN‑rail mounting streamlines panel installation.

Built on the BF18 platform, this contactor combines robust insulation (Ui 690 V, Uimp 6 kV) with long service life, rated at 20,000,000 mechanical cycles. It operates from -50 to 70 °C, stores from -60 to 80 °C, and is suitable up to 3000 m altitude, Pollution Degree 3. Compliant with IEC/EN/BS 60947-1/-4-1, UL 60947 and CSA C22.2 standards.
