Product Overview
The SW180 design is a single-pole, single-throw normally-open DC contactor developed for motor and other resistive, capacitive or inductive loads. Albright rates the family at 150A for interrupted service and 200A thermal current in uninterrupted service, with much higher short-duration current capacity depending on duty cycle.
This type of contactor is commonly used in golf carts, industrial trucks, utility vehicles and other battery-powered equipment. Coil voltage, main-stud size, auxiliary contacts, suppression components and mounting style all need to match the application.
Key Features & Performance
- Heavy-current DC switching for traction and accessory circuits
- SW180-style normally-open contact arrangement
- 200A uninterrupted thermal-current class in the Albright SW180 design
- Suitable for frequent motor switching when the exact coil/duty configuration is correctly matched
Part Numbers & Specifications
- Nominal listing voltage: 48V coil/application
- SW180 design: SPST normally open, double-break contacts
- Albright SW180 main terminals: M8 studs
- Albright SW180 thermal current: 150A interrupted / 200A uninterrupted
Before You Order
Do not select a contactor by amp rating alone. Confirm coil voltage, duty rating, main terminal size, mounting, auxiliary contacts and suppression requirements. A 48V battery system can damage the wrong coil instantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 200A a continuous switching rating?
Albright distinguishes interrupted and uninterrupted service; 200A is the thermal rating for uninterrupted duty in the SW180 design.
Can this be used in a golf cart?
It can suit many 48V electric-vehicle systems when coil voltage, wiring and mounting match, but it is not universal.
What does normally open mean?
The main contacts are open with the coil de-energized and close when the contactor coil is energized.
