Why Choose the Lovato BF1210A012 3-Pole Contactor?

The Lovato BF1210A012 is a compact 3-pole contactor designed for reliable switching of three-phase motors and other electrical loads in industrial control and automation systems. Part of the Lovato BF contactor family, it provides an AC-3 rated operational current of 12 A and incorporates a 1NO auxiliary contact.

This BF12 contactor is equipped with a 12 V AC 50/60 Hz coil, making it suitable for control circuits operating from a low-voltage AC supply. Its three normally open main power contacts provide dependable switching of three-phase loads, while the built-in normally open auxiliary contact can be used for signalling, holding and control functions.

Designed for professional panel building and machinery applications, the BF1210A012 combines compact dimensions with screw-terminal connections and convenient DIN rail or screw mounting. It is a practical choice for motor starters, pumps, fans, conveyors and other automated equipment requiring a 12 A AC-3 contactor with a 12 V AC control coil.

Key Advantages

  • 12 A AC-3 rating for reliable three-phase motor switching.
  • 3-pole configuration for three-phase power circuits.
  • 12 V AC 50/60 Hz coil for low-voltage AC control systems.
  • Integrated 1NO auxiliary contact for signalling and control functions.
  • Compact BF-series construction helps conserve control-panel space.
  • DIN rail or screw mounting provides installation flexibility.
  • Suitable for industrial machinery, motor starters and automation systems.

Key Features

  • Lovato BF12 contactor.
  • 3 normally open main power poles.
  • 1 normally open auxiliary contact.
  • 12 A AC-3 rated operational current.
  • 12 V AC control coil.
  • 50/60 Hz coil frequency.
  • Screw-terminal electrical connections.
  • Suitable for direct control of compatible three-phase motors and electrical loads.

Reliable & Durable Motor and Load Control

The Lovato BF1210A012 provides electromechanical switching between a low-power control circuit and a three-phase electrical load. Applying the specified 12 V AC 50/60 Hz control voltage to the coil operates the contactor, closing its three main normally open contacts and allowing the connected load to run.

Its integrated 1NO auxiliary contact can be incorporated into control circuits for functions such as electrical holding, contactor status signalling and sequencing. The BF-series format makes the contactor particularly suitable for compact motor-control assemblies and industrial automation panels.

Typical Applications

  • Three-phase motor starters.
  • Industrial machinery and production equipment.
  • Pump and fan control systems.
  • Conveyor and material-handling equipment.
  • HVAC control panels.
  • PLC and relay-controlled automation systems.
  • OEM machinery and electrical control panels.
