Overview

The Schlegel Elektrokontakt BFL5 is a maintained industrial switch designed for precise control and signaling in automation systems. This compact unit features a 3 mm actuation travel with a maintained (latching) switching function, ensuring stable circuit states without continuous operator input. The contact configuration includes one normally closed (NC) and one normally open (NO) contact, providing flexible circuit control for monitoring, safety interlocks, or status indication applications. Constructed with AgNi (Silver Nickel) contact material, the BFL5 delivers excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, rated for 1 million mechanical and electrical switching cycles under load. Connection is via standard Faston terminals (2.8 x 0.8 mm), enabling secure and efficient wiring in control panels or machinery interfaces. The integrated T55K lamp holder supports optional illumination for enhanced visibility in low-light environments, with lamp voltage limited to 60V and power to 1.2W. Electrical performance meets IEC/EN 60947-5-1 standards, supporting AC15 (B300) and DC13 (Q300) usage categories. The device handles up to 240V AC with 1.5A continuous current or 250V DC with 0.2A to 2A depending on configuration. Minimum switching capability is 5V at 1mA, making it suitable for low-power control circuits. Thermal continuous current rating is 6A, with a rated insulation voltage of 250V AC/300V DC. Operating temperature ranges from -30°C to 70°C (non-illuminated), -30°C to 55°C (incandescent), or -30°C to 65°C (LED). Storage temperature spans -50°C to 85°C. The BFL5 is ideal for control panels, machinery interfaces, safety circuits, and emergency stop systems where reliable maintained switching and optional illumination are required. Its IP00 protection class suits internal mounting in enclosures.
