900 VDC Contactor
Lowest Cost Hermetically Sealed Contactor in Its Class.
HARRISBURG, Pa. – Sept 12, 2008 – The KILOVAC LEV100 contactor offers hermetically sealed construction for intrinsically safe operation in explosive or harsh environments. Rated for 100 A at 900 VDC, the contactor uses an inert gas in the contact chamber and an epoxy-sealed resin case to provide long-term reliability. Contacts will not oxidize or become contaminated even during long periods of nonoperation. Isolation of 8 kVdc across the open contacts permits use for high-voltage isolation.
The compact package, occupying only about four cubic inches, is not position sensitive to allow flexible application. The contactor is available in bottom-mount and side-mount configurations. Coil voltage options include 12, 24, and 48 V. Standard coil termination is 15-inch flying leads. Contact configuration is 1 Form X (SPST-NO-DM).
Designed in accordance with AIAG QS9000 requirements, LEV100 contactors are suited for ground power applications in aerospace as well as industrial and commercial power distribution, circuit isolation, automotive pre-charge and motor control. Other applications include inverter control and battery switching in alternative energy application such as wind and solar power.
