TE Connectivity (TE) announced its new Kilovac KHR500 (Bubba II) high-voltage, high-rupture, 600 AMP contactor. It is capable of handling inrush currents as high as 4000 A. The new contactors are hermetically sealed for use in harsh and explosive environments.
“TE has always been focused on advancing SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) technology to help lower cost, reduce weight and size, and improve power handling capabilities,” said Earle Alldredge, product manager, global aerospace, defense and marine, TE. “The new KHR500 high-voltage contactors are smaller and 64 percent lighter than our popular EV500 Bubba contactors, providing more savings and flexibility to our customers.”
