BF38T4A12060 - 4P CONTACTOR NO 56A AC1 120V 60HZ
MPN: BF38T4A12060
Why Choose the BF38T4A12060?
The Lovato BF38T4A12060 is a four-pole contactor designed for reliable switching in industrial control and power circuits. With an IEC AC1 operating current of 56 A and AC3 performance of 38 A / 18.5 kW at 400 V, this BF38 series unit delivers dependable performance. The 120 VAC 60 Hz coil provides consistent actuation, while screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting simplifies installation across control panels.
Rated insulation is 690 V with 6 kV impulse withstand, supporting robust isolation. The device meets IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and -4-1, plus UL and CSA approvals, and carries a mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles. Operating from -50 to 70 °C and up to 3000 m altitude, it suits demanding environments; UL/CSA horsepower is 30 HP at 480 V.
