DR2260D35WRJ Contactors (Solid State)

The DR2260D35WRJ contactor is part of a type of contactors called Solid State Contactor, or SS contactors. SS contactors are non-mechanical contactors, meaning they do not use physical contactors, such as buttons and switches, to make and break electrical connections. Instead, they rely on an electrically operated switch or relay that can be automatically opened and closed by an electrical signal. These contactors are used in a variety of applications where physical contactors are not practical or required.

Application Field

DR2260D35WRJ Contactors (Solid State) are used in applications where electrical contacts need to be made and broken without the requirement for physical contactors. Examples of these applications include working with high voltages and currents, and where the speed of making and breaking electrical connections is critical, such as in robotics. SS Contactors are often preferred over traditional, mechanical contactors due to their low maintenance costs, high speed of operation, and ability to provide a reliable, controlled and safe connection.

Working Principle

A typical SS contactor consists of a switch or relay, known as the contactor itself, that makes and breaks electrical connections by opening and closing contacts. This is done by the contactor\'s electrical field, which is usually created by a voltage applied across the contactor\'s two terminals. When the voltage applied across the two terminals is greater than its predetermined threshold, the contactor will switch. When the voltage is below this value, the contactor will remain closed and the electrical connection will be maintained.

The contactor also contains a circuit breaker, which is used to prevent the contactor from remaining in its closed position if the applied voltage exceeds its maximum rated threshold. This makes the contactor exceptionally safe to use, as it will immediately open if it is exposed to too much voltage. The exact working principle of the DR2260D35WRJ will vary depending upon its configuration.

Conclusion

The DR2260D35WRJ contactor is part of the Solid State Contactor family. This type of contactor provides a safe and reliable electrical connection in applications where physical contactors are not practical or required. Working on the principles of an electric switch or relay, the DR2260D35WRJ is able to open and close contacts with great speed, control and accuracy, and its circuit breaker provides a safe back-up in the event of an excessive voltage increase.
