Tyco Lev200 Contactor

Tyco Electronics’ KILOVAC brand LEV200 contactor, capable of carrying 500A, is designed for power switching applications in electric and hybrid electric vehicles, forklifts, trains, generators, welding equipment and a host of other systems.

With a broad contact voltage rating and a lower cost than other comparably-rated contactors, the newly designed LEV200 is desirable for a variety of high volume applications. Additionally, the hermetically sealed nature of the product makes it intrinsically safe and,333 therefore, suitable for use in explosive and harsh environments.

The LEV200 has 1 Form X (SPST-NO-DM) main contacts. It is rated to continuously carry 500A at 320VDC when using 400 mcm conductors at 65°C. Higher ratings are possible with other conductors. The LEV200 can interrupt up to 2,000A at 320VDC. Contact voltage rating is 12VDC up to 900VDC. A 1 Form A (SPST-NO) auxiliary contact set rated 2A at 30VDC or 3A at 125VAC is available as an option.

The LEV200 is not position sensitive and may be mounted upright or using a side-mount attachment. The low overall height of the side-mount LEV200 makes it particularly suitable in places with tight space requirements. Standard coils are available for operation on 12, 24 and 48VDC. Coil termination options include strip leads and #10-32 threaded studs.
