cost sealed contactor in the
industry with its current
rating (500+A carry, 2000A
interrupt at 320Vdc)
Available with bottom or
side mounting — not
position sensitive
Optional auxiliary contact
for easy monitoring of
power contact position
Hermetically sealed —
intrinsically safe, operates
in explosive/harsh
environments with no
oxidation or contamination
of coils or contacts,
including long periods of
non-operation
Typical applications include
battery switching and
backup, DC voltage power
control, circuit protection
and safety
Versatile coil/power
connections
Designed and built in
accordance to AIAG QS9000
RoHS compliant

Series:
LEV200 = 500+ Amp, 12-900Vdc Contactor
Contact Form:
A = Normally Open
H = Normally Open with Aux. Contacts. (Option
“H” requires option “A” in Coil Wire Length
and option “N” in Coil Terminal Connector.)
Note: Other auxiliary contact forms available.
Consult factory.
Coil Voltage:
4 = 12Vdc 5 = 24Vdc B = 28Vdc
6 = 48Vdc K = 72Vdc
8 = 96Vdc L = 110Vdc O = 115Vac 9 = 240Vac
Notes: Consult factory for detailed specifications
and availability of coils not listed in
“Coil Data” table above. In coil voltage
codes, 115Vac is designated by the
letter “O” rather than the numeral “0.”
Coil Wire Length:
A = 15.3 in (390 mm)
N = None (Requires option
“A” in next step.)
Coil Terminal Connector:
N = None, stripped wires
(Requires option “A” in previous step.)
A = Studs, #10-32 Threaded (Electrical connection
is made to the tab at the base of the stud.)
Note: Specify option A, stripped wires, for coil voltages
> 96Vdc
Mounting & Power Terminals:
A = Bottom Mount & Male 10mm x M8 Threaded Terminals
F = Side Mount & Male 10mm x M8 Threaded Terminals
Consult factory regarding other available mountings and
power terminals.
Dimensions are in millimeters
unless otherwise specified.

NOTES:
1) For resistive loads with 300µH maximum inductance. Consult factory for inductive loads.
2) Estimates based on extrapolated data. User is encouraged to confirm performance in application.
3) End of life when dielectric strength between terminals falls below 50 megohms @ 500VDC.
4) The maximum make current is 650A to avoid contact welding.
