CONTACTOR BODY WITH INTEGRAL HEAT SINK

摘要

An electrical contactor assembly is provided including an electrical contactor positioned within a contactor housing, an electrical bus bar, and a post constructed from an electrically and thermally conductive material connected to the bus bar. At least one lead is coupled to the electrical contact and to the post. The at least one lead has a first portion oriented about a first plane and a second portion extending from the first portion and being oriented about a second plane. The second plane is arranged at an angle to the first plane such that one or more surface of the at least one lead are configured to transmit heat to the contactor housing.
