1616158-3

Overview

The TE Connectivity 1616158-3 is a movable contact assembly component belonging to the Kilovac EV500 series. It serves as a critical internal part for high-current electromechanical contactors, specifically designed for use with 750A rated devices operating at 12VDC coil voltages. This assembly facilitates the mechanical switching action required for heavy-duty industrial and aerospace applications.

Feature Summary

• Designed as a movable contact assembly for high-current switching operations
• Compatible with EV500 series general-purpose contactor housings
• Engineered for robust performance in demanding aerospace and defense environments

Applications

• High-current DC power distribution systems
• Aerospace and defense vehicle electrical architectures
• Industrial motor control and switching units

Procurement Notes

Verify that the procurement request specifies this item as a replacement contact assembly rather than a complete relay unit. Confirm compatibility with the specific EV500 housing model intended for integration. Ensure technical specifications align with existing system requirements before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component only when replacing worn or damaged contacts within an EV500 series contactor. Do not use as a standalone switch. Verify that the host contactor supports the 750A current rating and 12VDC coil voltage associated with this assembly type.

Part Context

This part is a sub-component of the TE Connectivity Kilovac EV500 line. It is not a finished relay but a replaceable internal element. It is typically paired with compatible base units to form complete high-amperage switching solutions for specialized sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Use only OEM-approved replacements for EV500 series contactors. Verify that the new assembly matches the original movable contact geometry and material specifications to ensure proper electrical continuity and mechanical lifespan.
