Why Choose the Lovato BFX12C02 Side-Mount Auxiliary Contact?
The Lovato BFX12C02 is a compact side-mounted auxiliary contact block with 2NC contacts designed to extend the control, signalling and interlocking capabilities of compatible Lovato BF series contactors. As part of the Lovato BFX12C auxiliary contact series, it provides two normally closed contacts for dependable operation in industrial motor control and automation circuits.
Designed for direct side mounting, the BFX12C02 provides an efficient way to add auxiliary switching functions to a compatible contactor without requiring separate control relays. Its screw terminals provide secure conductor connections, while the two-pole configuration is particularly useful for electrical interlocking, contactor status feedback and safety-related control arrangements.
The BFX12C02 has a conventional free-air thermal current rating of 10 A, a rated insulation voltage of 690 V and a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV. It carries an A600-Q600 control circuit designation and incorporates a mirror contact function for use with compatible Lovato BF160 through BF400 series contactors.

Reliable Auxiliary Switching for Contactor Control
Auxiliary contacts such as the Lovato BFX12C02 operate mechanically with the associated contactor to provide additional low-power switching functions. Its two normally closed contacts change state when the contactor operates, allowing control systems to implement status feedback, electrical interlocking, sequencing and other automation functions.
The BFX12C02 also incorporates a mirror contact function, making it useful in control arrangements where dependable indication of the main contact state is required. Its side-mounted format, industrial control ratings and screw terminals make it a practical accessory for compatible Lovato BF contactors used in machinery, motor control centres and industrial automation panels.
Typical Applications
- Electrical interlocking between contactors.
- Contactor status indication and feedback.
- Motor starter control circuits.
- PLC and industrial automation signalling.
- Machine sequencing and control systems.
- Motor control centres and switchboards.
- Industrial electrical panels and OEM machinery.
