Criteria to consider when selecting a DC contactor

The five criteria that help to find the right contactor.

The CT Concept

All details about the first combination of electromagnetic and permanent magnetic blowing in one device.

Mirror contacts – Function and limitations

Learn how mirror contacts function and what their limitations are.

Contactors for permanent-magnetic synchronous motors

In this way, switching arcs can be safely controlled even at high frequencies.

DC contactors for charging hub systems

The C310 series enables bidirectional charging and safely switches currents of up to 500 A when charging and discharging the battery.

DC high-voltage contactors for battery test systems

DC contactors Series C310 are switching charging and discharging currents up to 480 A in battery test systems.

Galvanic isolation in electrical commercial vehicles

Bidirectional contactors from Schaltbau ensure the safety of the battery unit.

C310 as main contactor for aircraft tractor

The C310A/500 in the inverter of an electrically powered aircraft tractor.

DC main contactors for industrial storage systems

The C310 disconnects the battery unit from the inverter.

Junction boxes for tunnel lighting

Schaltbau M series connectors safely connect tunnel luminaires

Connectors in mobile crane vehicles

M series connectors carry control signals from the tip of the crane to the crane controller.

Replace contacts – no crimping

The replacement insert for the UIC 558 connector reduces maintenance costs

C310 in research project on DC networks

In the DC laboratory network, the C310/150 is used as a precharging contactor and the C310/500 as the main contactor.

Jump starters from X-TRA POWER

The C100 enables power to be supplied from the starter battery.

Precharging contactor Series C294

The C294 in an electric motor test bench.

Slack cable detection for stage and theatre

The S880 snap-action switch is actuated if the lighting suspension gets jammed.

Power contactors Series CU in central inverters

Main contactor for disconnecting solar panel fields and strings.

Belt off-track switch and pull-cord emergency switch

S800 and S826 microswitches secure the operation of belt conveyors.

Door control in rail vehicles

Microswitches for door control safety circuits in rail vehicles

DC contactors for electric industrial trucks

As the main contactor, C110B contactors disconnect the traction battery from the electrical drive.

Safety switch in electric pedestrian pallet stackers

S870 and S880 snap-action switches ensure the reliable operation of crush protection systems.

Safety switches in stairlifts

S870 and S880 microswitches are used in safety edges.

Contactors C310 for electric bus charging stations

The C310 contactors ensure safe galvanic isolation between vehicle and charging point.

DC contactors in drives for electric buses

Disconnecting the high-voltage network from the drive train in the event of a fault.

DC contactors for smart cities

The C310 contactor in use in electric trucks.

Battery contactors for AGVs

Contactors of the C100 range ensure for collision-free, autonomous transport

High-voltage contactors for the mobility of tomorrow

Contactors C310 for use in the battery disconnect unit of e-cars.

Charging connectors for electric industrial trucks

LV series charging connectors ensure fast charging.

Limit switches in wind turbines

S870 microswitches function as limit switches in the brakes in the wind turbine at the Neumayer 3 polar research station.

Pitch and yaw control in wind turbines

Gear limit switches with snap-action switches control the position of rotor blades and the nacelle.

Limit switches in solar tracker systems

S880 snap-action switches function as limit switches and reference switches.

Cam switch elements for use in DC and AC applications

Single-pole switching elements for 15 A to 500 A. Schaltbau cam switching elements are suitable for use in DC and AC applications.
