Why Choose the Lovato BF26T2L024 BF26 Four-Pole Contactor?
The Lovato BF26T2L024 is a compact four-pole power contactor designed for industrial load switching, motor control and automation applications. Part of the Lovato Electric BF26 series, it features a 2NO + 2NC main contact configuration, an IEC AC-1 current rating of 45 A and a low-consumption 24 V DC coil.
Unlike a conventional three-pole contactor, the BF26T2L024 provides two normally open and two normally closed main contacts, enabling specialised switching arrangements from a single compact device. Its low-consumption DC coil is particularly useful in PLC-controlled equipment and automation systems where reducing control-circuit power demand is beneficial.
The BF26T2L024 also provides an IEC AC-3 operational current rating of 26 A at up to 440 V, a 690 V rated insulation voltage and flexible screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting. With robust industrial ratings and a wide operating temperature range, it is well suited to machinery, control panels and OEM automation systems.

Flexible Four-Pole Switching with a Low-Consumption DC Coil
Four-pole contactors with mixed normally open and normally closed contacts provide switching functionality that differs from conventional all-NO motor contactors. The BF26T2L024 incorporates 2NO + 2NC main contacts, allowing two circuits to close while two others open when the 24 V DC coil is energised. This configuration can be useful in specialised control, transfer and interlocking arrangements.
The low-consumption DC coil makes the BF26T2L024 particularly attractive for automation equipment controlled by PLCs and other electronic control systems. Combined with its 45 A AC-1 and 26 A AC-3 ratings, compact construction and DIN rail compatibility, it provides a versatile solution for industrial panel builders and machinery manufacturers.
Typical Applications
- Industrial automation and PLC-controlled equipment.
- Four-pole load switching circuits.
- Control systems requiring 2NO + 2NC main contacts.
- Motor and machinery control panels.
- Transfer and interlocking switching arrangements.
- Industrial heating and resistive load control.
- Manufacturing and production machinery.
- OEM electrical and automation panels.
