The necessary change to environmentally friendly use of energy leads to the high demand for high-voltage and high-current DC applications.
TDK offers the High-Voltage Contactors (HVC) series which meet the requirements for High-Voltage DC emergency disconnection applications up to 600 A in electric cars, trucks, busses and DC fast chargers.
HVC series features excellent extinguishing characteristics in combination with a bipolar design for charging and discharging.

TDK Corporation (TSE: 6762) has extended its range of bipolar DC high-voltage contactors to include the new HVC43 (B88269X3**0C011) series. These products complete the existing range by offering continuous currents from 150 A DC to 250 A DC and operating voltages of up to 1000 V DC. The contactors are available in 12 V or 24 V coils with a power consumption of 6 W.

TDK’s High-Voltage Contactor (HVC) Series is designed to meet the demands of high-voltage and high-current DC applications, especially for the disconnection for high-voltage lithium ion batteries. The hermetically sealed and gas-filled design is based on more than 80 years of experience with gas tube technology. The HVC series can be used in a wide range of applications where fast and reliable disconnection of high DC voltages is required.
