Great find, Lee! I have many contactors that I do not know what to do with, since I have taken several Leaf packs apart and I typically am left with the contactor box, which has two main contactors for 200+ Amps and one small contactor for pre-charge, all in one nice unit and controlled by 3 separate 12V circuits wired to a plug. Anyone interested, send me a private message. Cor.

G. Micro (http://www.bgmicro.com) is a surplus electronics dealer that often has great deals. I noticed that their current "sale" page has a Magnecraft 199DBX-3 power relay (contactor), item# REL1151, for $7.50 each. This contactor has a SPST 40amp 150v DC contact with blowout magnet. If you check the data sheet, it can also switch much higher DC voltages at lower current. These are ideal for switching heaters, chargers, and other high voltage DC loads in EVs. It has a 24vdc coil; but such coils usually pull in at half voltage, so it would be OK on 12vdc while your DC/DC converter is running. Or, I have a "Doubler" that converts 12vdc into 24vdc to drive such contactors. See <http://www.sunrise-ev.com/LeesEVs.htm#doubler> for details. -- The principal defect in a storage battery is its modesty. It does not spark, creak, groan, nor slow down under overload. It does not rotate. It works where it is, and will silently work up to the point of destruction without making any audible or visible signs of distress. -- Electrical Review, 1902 -- Lee Hart, 814 8th Ave N, Sartell MN 56377, www.sunrise-ev.com _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
