Why Choose the BF18T4A04860?
The Lovato BF18T4A04860 is a four-pole contactor engineered for reliable switching in industrial control panels. With an IEC AC1 operating current of 32 A and AC3 performance of 18 A/7.5 kW at 400 V, it handles motors and resistive loads with confidence. A 48 VAC, 60 Hz coil simplifies integration where a dedicated low-voltage control supply is available.
Designed to fit quickly on 35 mm DIN rail or via screws, the compact BF18 range delivers a mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles and strong insulation ratings of Ui 690 V and Uimp 6 kV. Operating from -50 to 70 °C and up to 3000 m altitude, it meets IEC/EN/BS, UL and CSA standards for dependable use in UK and global installations.
