About Continuous (CO.) PC60B Contactors

 Continuous contactors by design are predominantly used for drive functions on vehicles, they make and break slower than intermittent solenoids and are recommended for prolonged contact periods.

 The PC60B features single pole double-breaking main contacts with Silver-alloy tips, which are weld resistant, hardwearing and have excellent conductivity. The PC60B can be secured to the printed circuit board by means of an M4 bolt.

Magnetic Blowouts

 These contactors are of double break configuration and are fitted with magnetic blowouts (denoted by 'B' suffix in the PC60B range) across both contact gaps. These enable high currents to be ruptured very quickly so that arcing time is reduced to a minimum. The fitting of blowouts makes the contacts polarity sensitive and the Positive markings on the top cover of the contactor must be observed.

Installation

• To accommodate the PC Contactors, printed circuit boards should be drilled in accordance with the mounting details in the attached image (mounting details).
• Prior to soldering, the PC60B can be secured to the circuit board by means of an M4 bolt that protrudes from the underside of the contactor.
• If the full current ratings of the contactors are to be utilised, circuit board tracks should have the appropriate thickness and width of copper.
• Conventional hand or wave soldering techniques can be used.
