BF2600D012 - 3P CONTACTOR 26A AC3 12VDC

Why Choose the BF2600D012?

Lovato BF2600D012 three-pole contactor delivers reliable motor and power switching for industrial control panels. With a 12 V DC coil and IEC AC3 rating of 26 A (13 kW at 400 V), it suits three-phase loads. The device offers 45 A AC1, rated insulation voltage Ui of 690 V, and a 6 kV impulse withstand. A mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles supports long-term, demanding service.

Installation is straightforward with screw fixing or 35 mm DIN rail mounting, supported by terminal torque guidance of 2.5–3 Nm. Operating from −50 to 70 °C and up to 3000 m altitude, this BF26 series contactor is built for harsh environments. It carries UL/CSA 15 HP at 480 V ratings and meets IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60947-1/4-1, and CSA C22.2 n° 60947-1/4-1.
