BF09T4A230 Lovato contactor 4 pole AC3:9A 4.2kw 230vac coil

Why Choose the BF09T4A230?

Lovato’s BF09T4A230 four-pole contactor delivers reliable switching for industrial control and motor applications. With a 230VAC 50/60Hz AC coil, it handles AC-1 loads to 25A and AC-3 duties at 400V up to 9A/4.2kW. Flexible screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting speeds panel assembly, while compliance with IEC/EN/BS and UL/CSA standards supports use in diverse control panels and OEM machinery.

Built for endurance and safety, this contactor offers Ui 690V and 6kV impulse withstand, plus a 20,000,000-cycle mechanical life. It operates from -50 to 70°C, stores from -60 to 80°C, and suits Pollution Degree 3 environments up to 3000m. Terminal tightening torque is 1.5 to 1.8Nm. UL/CSA 5HP at 480V and Lovato sustainability certification broaden suitability across international installations.
