AMETEK Prestolite J46 Series DC Contactors are designed to fit a wide range of applications including electric forklift trucks, DC winches, electrical vehicles, and more recently to the telecommunications industry. The AMETEK Prestolite J46 Series is a high-performance quality, low cost, versatile contactor with totally interchangeable contacts. The J46 Series is of a modular design construction, featuring a quick assembly and disassembly with the removal of two screws. This format offers the user an easier and cost effective way to servicing. The availability of different mounting styles offers greater flexibility and with space a premium, makes this design a requirement.

The UL Approved JDA 46 is a Single Pole, Single Throw, Normally Open Heavy duty D.C. Contactor and is particularly suited to Stand By Power Applications, especially Telecommunications. The JDA 46 Series Contactor is fully serviceable with spare kits available for bridges and contacts, and is also interchangeable with other leading brands. The coil voltage ranges from 12V up to 240VDC. Closed contactor housings are available to prevent the ingress of dust and dirt.

The UL Approved HB series contactor family is specifically designed for use in heavy-duty standby power applications and in the telecommunications industry where versatility and demanding requirements are foremost. Other proved applications include emergency lighting systems, welding equipment, commercial and military generator sets, load bank power circuits, and battery chargers. Optional mounting variations are available

J 40 Open-Frame Contactors provide reliable, economical switching of low-voltage AC and DC loads up to 2000 amps continuous, for a fraction of the cost of comparable 600-volt-class NEMA and IEC devices. Designed specifically for use in large battery backup systems, welding apparatus, emergency lighting, and high-current testing equipment, these contactors have established a reputation for durability and reliability unmatched by any other manufacturer.

The UL Approved J 41 and J 43 Series contactors are Single Pole, Single Throw, Normally Open Heavy duty D.C. Contactor and is particularly suited to Stand By Power Applications, especially Telecommunications. The J Series open frame contactor is fully serviceable with spare kits available for bridges and contacts, and is also interchangeable with other leading brands. The coil voltage ranges from 12V up to 240VDC.

The MAGNA-LATCH, Latched Low Voltage Disconnect Contactor is more compact than traditional low voltage disconnects. The contactor coil only requires momentary power to be applied to the coil to open and close the contacts. Momentary power to the coil closes the contact, while a momentary reverse power signal to the coil opens the contact. This eliminates the heat generated by the coil. The fail-safe design only allows the contacts to open and close when the appropriate signal is applied. The Latching Coils can be driven by the KPG series coil drivers for those not wanting to design their own coil driver.

NEW The KPG Series Coil Drivers designed for Latching contactors generate two opposite polarity pulses on the load terminals that are connected to the Magna Latch Contactor coil to open and close the contactor. The product family will operate with 7-60 Vdc momentarily applied to the input terminals.

The JAR and JCR provides a means of shutting of the supply, using a manually-operated pushbutton (in case of emergency conditions or electrical faults). When the pushbutton is pressed in, the coil is overridden, ensuring that no contact can be made by breaking the load current.

Designed for Intermittent Use For Trucks, Buses, Off-Highway, Industrial and Marine Applications Prestolite 49SD Series Magnetic Switches are made in four voltage ranges and are identical, except for their coils.  Each coil is suited to a particular voltage requirement. The switches are completely waterproof, and are submersible to 6 p.s.i., for maximum reliability in all environments.  The totally enclosed housing and contact circuits feature permanent "O" ring seals to lock out moisture and contaminants. Contacts are machined of specially selected materials for long life and ability to handle high currents at the specified voltage. A control spring assures positive contact disc pressure and acts as a shock absorber when the contacts are closed, to extend contact life. The low mass plunger and a strong return spring provide spontaneous break-away when the switch is de-energized, and maintains an open circuit when switch is subjected to vibration or shock loads. The switches close under low voltage conditions, insuring operation on partially discharged batteries and low current draw reduces the drain on the battery during cranking. Features: Totally enclosed, waterproof construction, submersible to 6 p.s.i.  Interchangeable with the 49SC Series Magnetic Switches  Improved interior connections for added resistance to vibration  Heavy-duty, long life contacts  Lightweight, fast-acting plunger  Non-chattering design  Standard mounting dimensions  Can be mounted vertically or horizontally

The quality designed and manufactured ferroresonant transformer is the heart of the efficient charger. The power conversion circuitry is designed to maximize battery life with its constantly tapering charge, automatically regulated by the "on charge" battery voltage. The output current of the charger is determined by the state of discharge of the battery. The battery is precisely charged, based on its depth of discharge.

Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) type battery chargers regulate charging current by allowing the battery to determine its own charge cycle rate in accordance with its state of discharge.  SCR chargers provide a constant current-constant voltage-constant current (I-E-I) charge that eliminates the possibility of overcharging, even with line voltage variations of +/- 10%, and allows the battery to finish at the proper current regardless of its age or temperature.
