BFX1013 - AUX. CONTACT 1NO+3NC W CENTRE MOUNTING

Why Choose the LOVATO BFX1013 Auxiliary Contact Block?

The LOVATO BFX1013 is a compact front centre mounted auxiliary contact block designed for use with compatible LOVATO BF00, BF09 to BF150 series contactors. It provides additional auxiliary switching contacts for control, signalling, feedback and interlocking functions in industrial motor control panels.

This contact block features a 1 normally open and 3 normally closed contact arrangement, giving panel builders a practical solution where one auxiliary make contact and multiple break contacts are required from the same contactor assembly. It is commonly used for contactor status feedback, electrical interlocks, PLC input signalling and control circuit logic.

The BFX1013 uses screw terminals for secure wiring and includes mirror contact and mechanically linked contact functionality. With a 690 V rated insulation voltage, 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage and 10 A conventional thermal current, it is well suited to demanding industrial control and automation environments.

Key Advantages

• 4-pole auxiliary contact block for expanded control circuit functionality.
• 1NO + 3NC contact configuration for signalling, interlocking and feedback applications.

Reliable Auxiliary Control for Industrial Contactors

Auxiliary contact blocks such as the LOVATO BFX1013 allow a contactor to provide additional low-current switching contacts separate from the main power contacts. These auxiliary contacts are used to confirm contactor status, trigger control logic, provide remote indication and create safe interlocking between contactors.

The 1NO + 3NC configuration is especially useful where multiple normally closed control paths need to be opened when the contactor operates, while still providing one normally open feedback or signalling contact. This makes the BFX1013 suitable for motor starters, automation systems and control panels where reliable auxiliary switching is required.

Typical Applications

• Industrial motor starter panels.
• Contactor feedback and status signalling.
• PLC input monitoring from contactor assemblies.
• Electrical interlocking between contactors.
• Machine control and automation panels.
• Pump, fan and conveyor control systems.
• Maintenance and replacement of LOVATO BF series contactor accessories.
