BF2600D024 Lovato contactor 3 pole AC3:26A 13kw 24VDC coil

Why Choose the BF2600D024?

The Lovato BF2600D024 is a compact, industrial 3‑pole contactor designed for dependable motor control. With a 24V DC coil and AC‑3 performance of 26A (13 kW at 400V), it delivers reliable switching across demanding applications. Built to IEC/EN/BS 60947, it offers high insulation (Ui 690 V) and 6 kV impulse withstand. Flexible screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting and a wide −50 to 70°C operating range simplify installation and ensure service in harsh environments.

Part of the BF26 series, this contactor combines endurance and safety features for long service life. It delivers 45 A Ith (AC‑1), 15 HP at 480V (UL/CSA), and a mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles. Terminal tightening torque is 2.5–3 Nm for secure connections. Rated to pollution degree 3 and use up to 3000 m altitude, the 556 g unit supports sustainable specification and straightforward integration in control panels and motor starters.
