TE Connectivity (TE), a globally renowned company in connectivity and sensors, has announced the release of an additional configuration of its KILOVAC CAP120R contactor.
TE Connectivity’s KILOVAC CAP120R contactor is ideal for Defense, Marine, UAM (Urban Air Mobility), UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), Commercial and Military Aerospace applications that require lightweight latching coils and reduced power consumption.
KILOVAC CAP120R contactor with new configuration
The KILOVAC CAP120R contactor now features a high-voltage latching configuration. The 150-amp DC contactor also includes single pole, hermetically sealed auxiliary contacts with a latching actuator mechanism, thereby allowing for low-power consumption uses.
Earle Alldredge, the Product Manager in Aerospace, Defense and Marine Division at TE Connectivity, said “This solution was designed in response to a key industry need for higher voltage isolation, small size and weight, and reduced power consumption.”
Compact and highly versatile solution
The efficient design makes TE’s KILOVAC CAP120R contactor a reliable solution for power distribution
Earle Alldredge adds, “With this in mind, the TE KILOVAC CAP120R contactor delivers a highly versatile solution that is extremely small in size and lightweight, relative to its voltage and current ratings, while still able to manage high voltages and high current systems for airborne application designs.”
The efficient design makes TE’s KILOVAC CAP120R contactor a reliable solution for power distribution, energy storage and battery systems, and satisfies the demand for reliability in harsh environments for long-lasting systems, due to the contactor’s lightweight design, which can withstand high break levels —1,000 A at 400 VDC and 600 A at 600 VDC.
Versatile installation through bidirectional load switching
The contactor also allows versatile installation through bidirectional load switching, and the main contacts are not polarity sensitive.
TE Connectivity’s KILOVAC CAP120R contactor is designed to withstand harsh environments, offering:
- Temperature range: -40°C to +85°C
- Voltage maximum: 600 Vdc
- Mechanical life (Min): 100,000 cycles
- Weight (Nominal): 0.14 kg
