AEV150 Series DC Contactor Specification Application AEV150 series DC contactors are used for battery power supply, DC power control, circuit protection and other electric vehicle power switch controls. Can also be used in uninterruptible power supply and other electronic control systems. Features HIGH CURRENT AND HIGH VOLTAGE Nitrogen sealed contacts to minimize arcing. COMPACT STRUCTURE, LOW NOISE Contact design yields reduced unit size, low noise while carrying or switching currents. COIL ECONOMIZER Built-in coil economizer - only 1.7W holding power @12VDC, limits back EMF to 0V. HIGH SAFETY There is no arc leakage due to tight sealing. HIGH CONTACT RELIABILITY Stable contact resistance no matter how harsh the environment with sealed contacts. NO SPECIAL MOUNTING REQUIREMENT Light weight actuator is less impacted by gravity with no special mounting orientation requirements. VARIOUS APPLICATIONS Application includes battery switch and standby equipment, DC power control, circuit protection, etc. OPTIONAL AUXILIARY CONTACT Allows for contact position signal.

Screw tightening torque range is specified as below. B Exceeding the maximum torque can lead to product failure. * Contact torque (M8): 80 - 100 lb.in (8.8 - 11 N.m) * Mounting torque: 15 - 30 lb.in (1.7 - 3.3 N.m) 2.Contact Terminals are polarized so refer to drawing during connecting. There is a reverse surge absorption circuit so that it is not necessary to use a surge protective device. 3.Do not use if dropped. 4. Avoid installing in a strong magnetic field (close to a transformer or magnet), or near a heat source. 5. Electrical life Use per load capability and life cycle limits so as not to cause a failure. (treat the contactor as a product with specified life and replace it when necessary). It is possible to make parts burn around the contactor once operating failure occurs. It is necessary to take layout considerations into account and to make sure power shall be cut off within 1 second. 6. Lifetime of internal gas diffusion The contactor is sealed and filled with gas, lifetime of gas diffusion is determined by temperature in contact chamber (ambient temperature + temperature generated by contact operation). Operate only in an ambient temperature from -40 to +85 C. 7.If inductive load(L/R>1ms) then a surge current protection device should be connected in parallel to the inductive load. 8. Drive power must be greater than coil power or it will reduce performance capability. 9. Avoid debris or oil contamination of the main terminals to optimize contact and avoid excess heat generation. 10. Unit operates after power applied for 0.1s, do not rapidily switch unit. 1741 Industrial Drive, No. 14 * Sterling, IL 61081 Tel: 815-632-3150 * Fax: 815-632-3449 www.altranmagnetics.com * sales@altranmagnetics.com 5
