Highly accurate and fast switching

The hermetically sealed ceramic arc chamber is gas-filled for highly accurate fast switching and ensuring reliable operation over the whole lifetime.

The TDK High-Voltage-Contactor Series extinguishes in 1.2 ms with clear break of current.

The typical contactor part will extinguish in 4.6 ms with lots of fluctuations, which heats up the main contacts.

The TDK HVC series provides a longer lifetime and increased reliability compared with existing products due to

Less heat on the contacts
Less likely to become stuck
Less EMI

Contactless stuck detection – Hall

Advantages

Available as Normally Closed (HC) or Normally Open (HO)
Tack welding proof – no tack welding of aux. contact possible
More than 1 million switching cycles
Short circuit proof due to ProFET technology inside
The Hall switch reacts only to the south pole of the indicator magnet only and is resistant to lateral stray fields.

The Hall sensor indicates a “Make” or “Break” depending on the presence of the magnetic field from the indicator magnet. It acts as a switch depending on the presence of a certain magnetic field.
The indicator magnet is mounted to the axis, which is connected with the contact bridge. The up or down state of the axis changes the magnetic field sensed by the Hall sensor.

Single coil VS. dual coil

Single Coil

No additional current durig make (pick-up)
Operating power: 6 W, 0.5 A @ 12 V
No economizer required
Integrated coil termination

Dual Coil

Power during make (pick-up) 38 W, 3.2 A @ 12 V during 80...120 ms
Operating power: 4.2 W (0.35 A) @ 12 V
Hot-restartability (<1 s)
Works like an economizer but without the disadvantages of a PWM circuit
Integrated coil termination

Dual coil

High-voltage contactors are not designed to permanently switch under load
The device switches under load only in case of an emergency
Switching capability depends on voltage, current, inductance and resistance during break
Dual coil for increased lifetime of >50%: 3000 cycles with 300 A @ 450 V, 1000 cycles with 300 A @ 750 V

Bipolar contacts

The HVC has a bipolar design so that connection is possible regardless of polarity. This is a great advantage during assembly and also allows charging and discharging of a battery without using a second contactor.

Reliability

>1 million mechanical switching cycles
