Crydom Announces New Series of High Current DC Output Contactors
Crydom introduced the HDC Series of high current dc output contactors. The HDC Series extends Crydom’s extensive range of dc output solid state controls up to 160A at 200Vdc in a 40°C ambient. Featuring a robust encapsulated plastic package with large power terminals, the HDC Series includes a heavy duty aluminum base plate for superior thermal performance and easy mounting to a heat sink, panel or backplane.
The HDC Series incorporates Crydom’s advanced high speed dc switching circuit and low power dissipation Power FETs for optimum performance to deliver superior dc load control including PWM in many applications such as solar arrays, packaging machinery, automotive accessories, recreational vehicles and accessories, marine applications, process controls, power supplies, etc. A logic compatible 4.5 to 32Vdc control input or a 90 to 140Vac input, both with LED input status indicator, offer low power consumption control as well as 2.5 Kv optical isolation for superior surge protection.
Available in either a 120 or 160A output rating, the HDC Series is housed in an industry standard 75 x 105mm package with .375 inch/9.52 mm screw terminals and is available with optional installed thermal interface pad. Crydom HDC Series dc output contactors are CE certified to both the Low Voltage and EMC Directives, and RoHS & China RoHS compliant.
