TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensor solutions, today announced its new EVC 175 main contactor (EVC 175) for hybrid and electric vehicles. The product expands TE’s portfolio of contactors that are specifically designed for high voltage requirements in hybrid, full-electric and fuel cell vehicles, as well as in vehicle charging systems.
Based on the proven technology of TE’s EVC 250 contactor, the new contactor features a continuous current of 175A and a short circuit capability of 5kA, meeting medium power performance requirements. This high voltage contactor does not require inert gas filling or hermetic sealing of the contact chamber, ensuring safe disconnection of overcurrents up to 2,000A, even at altitudes of 5,500 meters above sea level.
The EVC 175 contactor is ideal for applications in tight mounting spaces, with overall dimensions of only 70.3×50.9×34.3mm and different options for mounting flanges. In addition to the standard version with separate coils for pull-in and hold with an automatic, internal switch, a second version with single coil for external economization is available. The EVC 175 main contactor also fulfils IEC 60664 insulation requirements.
Product highlights
• Compact high voltage main contactor
• Voltage rating up to 450VDC
• Continuous current up to 175A at 85°C
• Short circuit carry currents up to 5kA
Typical applications
