mounting -- not position
senstive.
I
Optional auxiliary contact for
easy monitoring of power
contact position.
I
Hermetically sealed –
intrinsically safe, operates in
explosive/harsh environments
with no oxidation or
contamination of coils or
contacts, including long periods
of non-operation.
I
Typical applications include
battery switching and backup,
DC voltage power control, circuit
protection and safety.
I
Versatile coil/power
connections.
I
Designed and built in
accordance to AIAG QS9000.

Part Numbering System
Typical Part Number
LEV200 A 4 N
Series:
LEV200 = 500+ Amp, 12-900Vdc Contactor
Contact Form:
A = Normally Open
H = Normally Open with Aux. Contacts. (Option “H” requires
option “A” in Coil Wire Length and option “N” in Coil
Terminal Connector.)
Note: Other auxiliary contact forms available. Consult factory.
Coil Voltage:
4 = 12Vdc
5 = 24Vdc
6 = 48Vdc
K = 72Vdc
8 = 96Vdc
L = 110Vdc
O = 115Vac
9 = 240Vac
Notes: Consult factory for detailed specifications and availability of
coils not listed in “Coil Data” table above.
In coil voltage codes, 115Vac is designated by the letter “O”
rather than the numeral “0.”
Coil Wire Length:
A = 15.3 in (390 mm)
N = None (Requires option “A” in next step.)
Coil Terminal Connector:
N = None, stripped wires (Requires option “A” in previous step.)
A = Studs, #10-32 Threaded (Electrical connection is made to the tab
at the base of the stud.)
Note: Specify option A, stripped wires, for coil voltages > 96Vdc
Mounting & Power Terminals:
A = Bottom Mount & Male 10mm x M8 Threaded Terminals
F = Side Mount & Male 10mm x M8 Threaded Terminals
Consult factory regarding other available mountings and power terminals.
NOTE: All part numbers are RoHS compliant (and always have been).
