BF26T2A46060 - 4P CONTACTOR 2NO+2NC 45A 230V 60HZ

Why Choose the BF26T2A46060?

The Lovato BF26T2A46060 four-pole contactor delivers dependable switching for industrial control and power distribution. With an IEC AC-1 thermal current Ith of 45 A, a 460 VAC 60 Hz AC coil, and a versatile 2NO/2NC contact arrangement, it suits a wide range of resistive and motor loads. Mounting is flexible via screws or 35 mm DIN rail, and a UL/CSA 15 HP rating at 480 V supports common motor starter duties.

Engineered for endurance, the BF26 series offers 690 V rated insulation and 6 kV impulse withstand for reliable isolation. A mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles, -50 to 70 °C operating range, and use up to 3000 m altitude ensure performance in harsh environments. Conformance to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1/-4-1 and UL/CSA standards underpins safety, while screw terminals accept 2.5–3 Nm tightening torque.
