Radiatron reckons the Erni TMC series of D-sub connectors offers the industry's widest choice of configurations, including power and press-fit versions for backplane applications.
The EV200 provides safe and reliable disconnection of high currents and is designed for long and reliable operation in harsh environments.
Standard mechanical life is rated in excess of 1 million operations, making the EV200 suitable for use in new designs or as a retrofit replacement for conventional open-style contactors where reliability could be compromised by the risk of environmental ingress.
Immunity from oxidation or contamination of the coils or contacts, means that the EV200 remains reliable even during extended periods of nonoperation.
An integral coil economiser limits back EMF to 0V with just 1.7W hold power required at 12V DC, and an optional, fully sealed auxiliary contact provides easy monitoring of the contact position.
The EV200 is rated for carry currents up to 500A with 2000A interrupt at 320V DC.
A wide range of configurations allows for easy and cost-effective customisation to meet the specific design objectives of different applications.
These options include seven different form types, as well as flange, panel and PCB-mounting versions and a range of coil and power connections.
The EV200 is available now from Acal Radiatron in commercial and QPL, MIL-R-83725 versions, with optional voltage isolation to 70kV.
The contactor is CE marked for EU operation and meets AIAG QS9000 specifications as well as being recognised by US and Canadian UL File E208033.
