Contactors

Contactors integrated circuits and reference designs

Description

Our integrated circuits and reference designs help you create reliable and high-performing contactors for switching loads such as motors, HVAC, lighting and heating to a power supply.

Innovative contactors often require:

Monitoring current and temperature faults to drive solenoid relays or motor drives
Highly efficient architecture to power from 1/3-phase AC or auxiliary DC supply
Adjustable trip timing settings and diagnostics to detect stuck actuators
