ELECTRICAL CONTACTOR WITH CONTROL SIGNAL HEADER CONNECTOR

摘要

A disclosed electrical contactor may include a line-side electrical terminal, a load-side electrical terminal, a switching element coupled between the line-side and load-side electrical terminals, a control signal connector adapted for receiving and routing a control signal, and a control unit coupled between the control signal connector and the switching element and adapted to receive the control signal from the control signal connector and to enable the switching element in response to the control signal. The control signal connector may include a housing and multiple electrical terminals arranged within a cavity, and may include multiple portions each adapted to receive a plug connector. The switching element may be configured to electrically connect the line-side and load-side electrical terminals when enabled. The line-side terminal may be adapted for connection to an electrical conductor carrying an electrical voltage, and the load-side electrical terminal may be adapted for connection to an electrical load.
