Now available in Europe at TTI, Inc., a world leading specialist distributor of electronic components, TE Connectivity’s EVC 250 Main Contactor is specifically designed to meet the demanding switching requirements of hybrid, full-electric and fuel cell vehicles, as well as in-vehicle charging systems. The EVC 250 contactor works without a pressurized contact chamber and features larger contact gaps and optimized switching dynamics. It achieves maximum performance with continuous DC current ratings of 250A at 85degC, which ensures a safe short-circuit carry capability of 6000A. With no pressurized contact chamber, the new EVC 250 main contactor offers a longer operating life than comparable systems, as service replacement due to pressure loss or gas leaking is no longer necessary.
The TE Connectivity EVC 250 Main Contactor has a space-saving design – its physical dimensions are only 93mm x 55.3mm x 49.8mm and it weighs 560g. Design flexibility is further supported by a voltage rating of up to 450VDC. Ambient temperature range is minus 40degC to +85degC and the device is dustproof to IP54 (IEC 60529). Its simplified construction supports fully automated production. The device fulfils the installation requirements of IEC 60664.
The TE Connectivity EVC 250 Main Contactor is available now in Europe at TTI, packaged in units of 24.
