Image of Altran Magnetics APV500 Series High-Voltage DC Contactors The APV500 series from Altran Magnetics is a PCB-mountable, compact, high-voltage DC contactor engineered for advanced electronics and space-restricted power switching applications. Designed to carry over 500 A and up to 900 V_DC, it features an inert gas-filled arc chamber and an epoxy resin seal, ensuring no arc leakage, even in explosive environments. Offering both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contact configurations, the APV500 is highly flexible. It includes options for auxiliary contacts and non-polar load terminals, and operates in any mounting orientation. Built with an economized coil to minimize power consumption, this contactor is CE and RoHS compliant for global use.
