TE introduces KILOVAC K250 high voltage DC contactor

     TE Connectivity (TE), a global connectivity and sensor leader, will introduce the KILOVAC K250 high voltage DC contactor. TE's new contactors are designed for harsh environments with a fully sealed design and deliver higher current carrying capacity and isolation voltage than other contactors of the same size and weight on the market.

     The KILOVAC K250 contactor has a continuous current rating of 250 amps and an isolation voltage of 1000 Vdc. They feature a two-way power switch and auxiliary terminal design to provide engineers with multi-function high-voltage contactors. TE's new contactors also feature electronic coil energy savers that enable low power retention, helping to improve performance.

     "The KILOVAC K250 contactors set a new performance standard in the industry by increasing the current carrying capacity by 150% while maintaining package size and weight," said Paul Waugh, product manager, TE Aerospace, Defense and Marine. "We give our customers performance they can't get anywhere else."

     The KILOVAC K250 contactors are designed for a variety of applications, including power distribution, alternative energy storage systems, circuit protection, and motor control circuit isolation.
