An electrically controlled switch known as a contactor is used to switch an electrical power circuit. A circuit that has significantly less power than the switched circuit is typically used to control a contactor, such as a 24-volt coil electromagnet controlling a 230-volt motor switch.
Operating Principle of a Contactor: The electromagnet is excited by the current flowing through the contactor. The contactor core moves the armature as a result of the magnetic field created by the excited electromagnet.
The circuit connecting the moving contacts and the fixed contacts is completed by a normally closed (NC) contact. turn on and off large, high-voltage electrical equipment like motors, fans, pumps, etc., we use contactors. We use a contactor instead of connecting the PLC directly to these output devices in order to safely and indirectly control these large, high-voltage electrical devices.
Your air conditioner’s contactor, which is situated in the outdoor condenser unit, functions like a switch. It turns the AC unit on and off and supplies power to parts like the compressor and condenser fan. Contactors may malfunction mechanically or electrically.
Global power contactor market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The KILOVAC CAP120R contactor now comes in a second configuration, thanks to TE, a global leader in connectivity and sensors. For defence, marine, UAM (urban air mobility), UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle), commercial, and military aerospace applications needing lightweight latching coils and reduced power consumption, TE’s KILOVAC CAP120R contactor is perfect.
High-voltage latching is now a feature of the CAP120R contactor. The single pole, hermetically sealed auxiliary contacts on the 150-amp DC contactor also have a latching actuator mechanism, enabling low-power applications.
According to Earle Alldredge, a product manager in TE’s Aerospace, Defense and Marine division, this solution was created in response to a critical industry need for higher voltage isolation, small size and weight, and reduced power consumption.
In light of this, the TE KILOVAC CAP120R contactor offers a highly adaptable solution that is lightweight and incredibly small in comparison to its voltage and current ratings, yet still capable of managing high voltages and high current systems for airborne application designs.
