Why Choose the BF38T2A230?
Engineered for reliable control and power switching, the Lovato BF38T2A230 four‑pole contactor (2NO and 2NC) suits a wide range of industrial panels. Its 230VAC 50/60Hz AC coil pairs with an IEC Ith (AC1) of 56A and AC3 performance of 38A/18.5kW at 400V. Flexible screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting streamlines installation, while robust construction from a trusted manufacturer helps ensure consistent operation in motor, heating and distribution applications.
Designed to meet IEC/EN/BS 60947 and UL/CSA standards, this contactor features 690 V Ui and 6 kV Uimp ratings for dependable insulation and surge withstand. A 20,000,000-cycle mechanical life, -50 to 70 °C operating temperature, and pollution degree 3 suit harsh environments up to 3000 m altitude. Terminals tighten to 2.5–3 Nm, and the device carries Sustainability certification to support responsible specification.
