TE Connectivity’s Kilovac CAP120R
TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, released an additional configuration of a successful high-voltage contactor from the KILOVAC series.
Large direct current switches and bidirectional load switching are handled using latching high-voltage DC contacts.
The high-voltage relay, CAP120RBXNG (4-1618415-5), is ideal for commercial and military aviation and marine applications that require reduced power consumption and thus also for all industrial applications in harsh environments. It is a latching version, thanks to which we can save a lot of energy. The 150 A DC contactor also includes an auxiliary contact for low voltage, which is intended exclusively for indication purposes and with which we can display the switching status.
“The CAP120RBXNG high-voltage DC contactor from TE Connectivity’s popular Kilovac series provides a highly versatile solution that is extremely small in size and lightweight considering its voltage and current ratings, while it is still able to handle high voltage and high current for the construction of many applications,” says Pavol Buhla, SOS electronic product specialist, about this new product in our range.
Thanks to its efficient design, the CAP120RBXNG contactor from the TE Connectivity/Kilovac series is a reliable solution for energy distribution and storage – battery systems and solar (photovoltaic) systems. It meets the requirements for reliability in a harsh environment for long-lasting systems thanks to a light construction that can withstand high current levels. The DC contactor also allows for versatile installation due to bidirectional load switching and the main contacts are not polarity sensitive.
