Tyco Kilovac 500A 320V LEV200 Contactor

The LEV200 is designed to be the lowest cost sealed contactor in the industry. It can break up to 2000A (once), and will carry continuously 500A at up to 320V if properly heatsinked at the terminals (using very large copper conductors - consult the datasheet for specifics). The LEV200 is hermetically sealed, so it can be operated in enclosed harsh/explosive spaces such as battery boxes. The contactor has magnetic blowouts to aid in the squelching of arcs if the contactor must make/break current.

The coil is rated for 12VDC, and requires about 1A to hold. The contactor can be ordered with or without auxiliary contacts (auxiliary contacts are used to sense when the main internal contact is open/closed). For more specifications, see the datasheet below.

For this contactor to operate safely, and be capable of disconnecting the controller from the battery pack in the event of a failure, the following design guidelines should be followed:

  • Used only on 300V systems or lower
  • Properly heatsinked at the contact terminals for the continuous currents that will be handled

If these suggestions can't be followed, use of the SW200 should be considered, with multiple contactors in series to suit higher-voltage systems (e.g. a 240V system would use two SW200's in series).

Note on aux contacts: with auxiliary contacts, the black wires energize the coil, and the white wires sense whether the main contacts are open/closed (no continuity when the main contacts are open, continuity when the main contacts are closed).

Note on A1/A2 connections: due to the magnetic blowouts, it is important that the connection is made with polarity observed. Current flows into A1, and out of A2.


Tyco Kilovac 500A 320V EV200 Contactor

The predecessor of the LEV200, the EV200 is the original low-cost, high-quality, high-voltage contactor. It can also break up to 2000A and will carry continuously 500A at up to 320V if properly heatsinked at the terminals (using very large copper conductors - consult the datasheet for specifics). The advantage of the EV200 over the LEV200 is the smaller size and coil economizer. The coil economizer reduces the coil holding current from 1A at 12V down to less than 0.15A at 12V! The contactor has magnetic blowouts to aid in the squelching of arcs if the contactor must make/break current.

The contactor can be ordered with or without auxiliary contacts (auxiliary contacts are used to sense when the main internal contact is open/closed). For more specifications, see the datasheet below.

The same guidelines as listed for the LEV200 should be followed with the EV200:

  • Used only on 300V systems or lower
  • Properly heatsinked at the contact terminals for the continuous currents that will be handled

Tyco Kilovac 600-1000A 1800V EV500 Contactor

The EV500 Contactor (nicknamed the "Bubba"), will carry from 600-1000A depending on the environment, and can operate up to 1800V! This is the contactor you'll consider if using a high power Zilla configuration, and want the utmost confidence in the safety and operation of the system.

The EV500 studs require a 3/8" lug.

Tyco 12V 75A Power Relay


This is a Tyco 12V 75A power relay that works great with the Toyota MR2 electric power steering pump. It has 4 terminals - 2 to energize the coil which turns on the load, 1 that connects to a 12V breaker (like we sell on this page), and the other that feeds the load, e.g. the pump. It has built-in diodes on the coil so no external diodes are required.

KUEP-3D15-12 High-Power Relay Assembly


This Magnecraft & Struthers-Dunn 10A/150 VDC relay (P/N A283HXX69C-12D) has the same specifications as the commonly used P&B KUEP-3D15-12 for switching on ceramic heater elements. Note: although commonly used with the heater elements, this will usually push the relay beyond its specifications. Please be aware of the risk involved with using any component beyond its rating, and try to choose components that are properly rated.

Price includes relay, socket, and hold-down clip as shown in picture. Product might be substituted with the P&B brand relay, which is pin-for-pin compatible.
