Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and installation guidelines for the PC61 contactor, a miniature single pole double throw contactor designed for printed circuit board mounting. It is suitable for both interrupted and uninterrupted loads, making it ideal for applications in telecommunications, UPS, and power conversion systems.
Specifications:
  • Thermal Current Rating: 250A for interrupted, 350A for uninterrupted applications.
  • Intermittent Current Rating: Varies with duty cycle, e.g., 145A at 30% duty.
  • Fault Current Breaking Capacity: 400A at 48V D.C. for PC61, 400A at 96V D.C. for PC61B.
  • Maximum Recommended Contact Voltages: 48V D.C. for PC61, 96V D.C. for PC61B.
  • Coil Voltage Range: 6 to 130V D.C.
  • Operating Temperature: -40˚C to +60˚C.
Features:
  • Single pole double breaking main contacts with silver alloy tips for excellent conductivity and wear resistance.
  • Optional features include auxiliary contacts, magnetic blowouts, and environmentally protected housing (IP66).
  • Mounting options include a separate mounting base for easy installation and removal.
Installation Guidelines:
  • PC61 can be secured to the circuit board using an M4 bolt.
  • Appropriate copper thickness and width are required for circuit board tracks to utilize full current ratings.
  • Washable contactors and auxiliary contacts are available, with temporary sealing for post-soldering washing.
Performance Notes:
  • Performance data should be used as a guide, with potential de-rating based on application specifics.
  • Contact resistance varies with load switching frequency.

Devised for both interrupted and uninterrupted loads, the PC61 is suitable for switching Resistive, Capacitive and Inductive loads. Typical applications include Telecommunication, UPS and other power conversion systems. Interrupted current - opening and closing on load with frequent switching (results in increased contact Uninterrupted current - no or infrequent load switching requirements (maintains a lower contact resistance). The PC61 features single pole double breaking main contacts with silver alloy tips, which are weld resistant, hard wearing and have excellent conductivity. The PC61 can be secured to the printed circuit board by means of an M4 bolt. Note: The PC range now incorporates the mounting board option, previously assigned to the MB range (existing MB part numbers remain valid).
