EVC 250 CONTACTOR

Picture
Safe contactors for brighter future mobility. Our EVC 250 main contactor is designed for use in hybrid, full-electric and fuel cell vehicles, on-board charging systems and works without pressurized contact chambers.
Data Sheet
The EVC 250 contactor features larger contact gaps and optimized switching dynamics.
​
 It features high-performance arc suppressing magnets to effectively control the switching arc. The contactor achieves continuous current ratings of 250A, which ensures a safe short-circuit carry capability of 6,000A and complies with switching requirements in hybrid and electric vehicles. Service replacement due to pressure loss or gas leaking is no longer necessary.

Applications
  • Hybrid vehicles
  • Full battery electric vehicles, fuel-cell cars and
  • DC battery charging systems
​
RequirementsThe requirements for the main contactor under normal operation conditions are summarized here:
  • Connect and disconnect the battery
  • Carry several 100 A with low power dissipation
  • Ensure full galvanic isolation, when the vehicle is turned off
 
The requirements for failure cases are:


  • The contactor must be able to switch off overcurrents of up to 2,000 A
  • The contactor must still be capable of separating the circuit after an overload
  • The contacts must remain closed in case of overload (especially at short circuits), as long as the contactor is activated

EVC 500 CONTACTORS

Picture
Lighten the (electrical) load. TE's EVC 500 Main Contactors provide fast, reliable current switching for hybrid and electric vehicles.

Fast, hermetically sealed switches.
 TE's EVC 500 main contactors provide fast and reliable switching of the high voltage battery to the vehicle system in hybrid and electric vehicles. The compact contactors offer 900VDC and 500 Amps continuous current carrying capabilities. The contactors are capable of 2000 Amp interrupt at 320 VDC. Evolved from fighter jet technology, the high voltage contactors provide current switching capabilities in harsh environments with no oxidation or contamination of contacts during long periods of non-operation. The EVC 500 contactor is designed with an optional built micro-controller or timer-based coil economizer. 

Applications
  • Main power relay to connect the battery system to the electric vehicle

Features
  • 2000 Amp interrupt at 320 VDC
  • 12kV of isolation between open contacts
  • Hermetically sealed
  • 500 Amp continuous current rating
  • Voltage rating (max): 900 VDC
  • Compact package
  • Fast high voltage interrupt capability
  • Optional built-in coil economizer
  • 12V coil version available requiring no external economizer (EVC 500L)
  • Robust bottom mounting with optional economizer enclosure  

Mechanical
  • Compact epoxy-sealed resin enclosure
  • Robust bottom mounting with optional economizer enclosure
  • Inert gas filled contact chamber
  • Flying leads for coil connections
  • Threaded load terminals
  • Mechanical life: 500,000 cycles

Electrical
  • Contactor arrangement: Main contacts SPST–NO-DM (1 Form X)
  • Voltage rating (max): 900 VDC
  • Continuous current rating: 500 Amps @ 85 °C
  • Break current at 320 VDC: 2,000, 1 cycle
  • Coil resistance: EVC 500 = 3.14 ohms
