KILOVAC LEV200 Series Contactor With 1 Form X
Contacts Rated 500+ Amps, 12-900Vdc
Product Facts
Designed to be the lowest cost
sealed contactor in the industry
with its current rating (500+A
carry, 2000A interrupt at
320Vdc).
Available with bottom or side
mounting -- not position
senstive.
Optional auxiliary contact for
easy monitoring of power
contact position.
Hermetically sealed
intrinsically safe, operates in
explosive/harsh environments
with no oxidation or
contamination of coils or
contacts, including long periods
of non-operation.
Typical applications include
battery switching and backup,
DC voltage power control, circuit
protection and safety.
Versatile coil/power
connections.
