The heavy duty 7000 series power contactors

feature a non-latching solenoid design and are

offered in ratings from 55 to 400 Amps. MIL-qualified

and special units are also available.

The heavy duty M708 series 700 Amp, 1PST-DM

power contactor, designed to the performance

standards of MIL-R-6106J and European certifica-

tions, is housed in a dust-proof metal can with a

polarized and protected coil.

270Vdc high voltage contactors provide the benefits

of ceramic-sealed contactors but at a reduced size,

weight and cost. These high reliability components

are hot-switch capable, hermetically sealed and

feature built-in coil suppression. They meet the

performance requirements of MIL-PRF-32085.

LEACH Solid State Power Controllers (SSPCs)

employ the latest micro-controller and Power FET

technology incorporated into a Printed Circuit Board

(PCB). They feature non-derated switching for all load

types; protect against overload and short circuit; and

include extensive Built-In-Test (BIT) to verify all critical

functions at start-up and during operation.

Esterline Power Systems’ packaging capabilities

range from simple to complex and feature LEACH

compact, rugged components and assemblies.
