Why Choose the Lovato 11BG1210A46060 BG12 Mini Contactor?
The Lovato 11BG1210A46060 is a compact three-pole mini contactor designed for dependable motor switching and industrial automation applications. Part of the Lovato Electric BG12 series, it combines a 460 V AC 60 Hz coil with a 12 A AC-3 operational current rating and an integrated 1NO auxiliary contact.
Designed for machine builders, panel builders and automation engineers, the BG12 provides useful motor switching capacity in the compact BG mini-contactor format. Its three normally open main poles provide conventional three-phase load switching, while the built-in normally open auxiliary contact can be incorporated into signalling, holding and electrical interlocking circuits.
With an IEC AC-3 motor rating of 5.5 kW at 400 V AC, the 11BG1210A46060 is suitable for controlling compatible three-phase motors used in pumps, fans, conveyors and production machinery. Its 460 V AC 60 Hz control coil also makes this version particularly suitable for machinery and control systems using higher-voltage North American-style control supplies.

Compact Three-Phase Motor Switching
A three-pole contactor provides electrically controlled switching of all three phases of a compatible motor or other three-phase load. When the 460 V AC 60 Hz coil of the 11BG1210A46060 is energised, its three normally open main contacts close, allowing the connected load to operate under the command of the associated control circuit.
The Lovato BG12 format combines this switching functionality with a compact footprint and an integrated auxiliary contact. This makes the 11BG1210A46060 a practical choice for OEM machinery, motor starters and automation panels where reliable switching, straightforward installation and efficient use of enclosure space are important.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase motor switching.
- Industrial pumps and fans.
- Conveyors and material handling equipment.
- Compressors and small machinery.
- Packaging and production equipment.
- Industrial automation and machine control systems.
- OEM machinery and compact electrical control panels.
