In the most basic terms, a relay is a remotely operated switch
designed to isolate voltage and a contactor is a remotely operated
switch designed to switch power. In everyday applications there
is cross over and no clearly defined difference between a relay
and a contactor. High Voltage Relays and
Contactors have different design characteristics but both have
the advantage of being sealed providing a safe and predictable
switching environment.
用最基本的術(shù)語來說，高壓繼電器是一種用于遠(yuǎn)程操作的開關(guān)，目的是用來隔離高低電壓，而高壓接觸器是一種遠(yuǎn)程操作的開關(guān)，目的是用來切換電源。在日常應(yīng)用中，兩者是互相交叉的，高壓繼電器與高壓接觸器之間沒有明確的定義區(qū)別。高壓繼電器和高壓接觸器具有不同的設(shè)計特性，但都具有密封結(jié)構(gòu)設(shè)計的優(yōu)點，從而提供了安全可靠和可預(yù)測的觸點通斷切換環(huán)境。
Following are some basic questions to help in
selecting the right High Voltage Relay
or Contactor：
遵循以下一些基本選型問題，有助于選擇合適的高壓繼電器
或高壓接觸器：
What is your circuit voltage, or what do you
need to isolate?
您的電路電壓是多少？或者您需要隔離什么電壓？
If it is over 1500V
then you will need
to look at High
Voltage Relays；If it is 1500V or
less then look
at Contactors.
如果超過1500V，則需要選用高壓繼電器;如果是1500V或更低，則可以選用接觸器。
What form is required, SPST, SPDT, or DPDT?
需要什么觸點形式，單刀單擲、單刀雙擲或雙刀雙擲？
High Voltage Relays offer all three
possibilities. Contactors are all SPST designs.
高壓繼電器一般提供所有三種可能性。接觸器一般均為單刀單刀單擲設(shè)計。
What coil voltage is required?
需要什么線圈電壓？
Manufatures offers standard coil ratings from 5Vdc to 240VAC,
product dependent. Some special coil requirements can be
accommodated.
廠家一般提供從 5V 直流到 240V 交流的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)線圈額定值，取決于產(chǎn)品。一些特殊的線圈要求是可以按要求定制。
Are there any mechanical size or mounting
requirements, PCB mount, panel mount, etc?
是否有任何機(jī)械尺寸或安裝要求， PCB安裝， 面板安裝， 等等？
Is a Latching, bi-stable, contact form required?
是否需要閉鎖觸點？雙穩(wěn)態(tài)觸點？
Both High Voltage Relays and Contactors offer latching
versions.
一般高壓繼電器和接觸器均提供閉鎖類型產(chǎn)品。
Does the relay need to switch under load, open
or close, while current is flowing?
繼電器是否需要在負(fù)載下切換，斷開和接通時是否有電流通過？
? If yes and your circuit voltage is under 1500V then Contactors are probably the best choice
如果是并且您的電路電壓低于1500V，則接觸器可能是最佳選擇
? If yes and your circuit voltage is over 1500V then High Voltage Relays are the best choice
如果是并且您的電路電壓超過1500V，則高壓繼電器是最佳選擇
? If not switching under load, most Sensata | Gigavac
switching products can meet your application needs
(given other requirements).
如果在負(fù)載電流通過情況下不切換，大多數(shù)繼電器和接觸器產(chǎn)品可以滿足您的應(yīng)用需求
Is the application circuit DC, AC, or RF?
應(yīng)用電路是直流、交流還是射頻？
High Voltage Relays and Contactors can be used in DC or
AC circuits. Most High Voltage Relays are suited
for RF applications.
高壓繼電器和接觸器可用于直流或交流電路。大多數(shù)高壓繼電器都適用用于射頻應(yīng)用。
Are there any environmental considerations
like temperature extremes, shock, vibration,
etc?
是否有任何環(huán)境因素像極端溫度、沖擊、振動等等？
The environmental specifications of each product can be found
on the corresponding datasheet.
每種產(chǎn)品的環(huán)境規(guī)格要求在相應(yīng)的數(shù)據(jù)表上都可以找到。
