BF1801A12060 - 3P CONTACTOR 1NC 18A AC3 120/60
MPN: BF1801A12060
Why Choose the BF1801A12060?
The Lovato BF1801A12060 is a robust three‑pole contactor designed for dependable motor and load switching. Delivering 18A AC‑3 performance at 400V and 32A AC‑1 Ith, it uses a 120V 60Hz AC coil for consistent actuation. An integrated 1NC auxiliary with mirror contact function provides reliable feedback for safety circuits. Flexible screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting streamlines panel installation and service.
Built for demanding environments, the BF1801A12060 offers Ui 690V and Uimp 6kV insulation strength, plus a mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles. It operates from −50 to 70 °C, stores from −60 to 80 °C, and is rated Pollution Degree 3 up to 3000 m altitude. UL/CSA 10 HP at 480V capability and compliance with IEC/EN/BS 60947 standards support global panel and OEM applications.
