Product Overview
A contactor is the electrically controlled main switch between a battery pack and a high-current load such as a traction motor. The SW180 family uses double-break silver-alloy contacts and is designed for resistive, capacitive and inductive DC loads.
Although this listing is aimed at 48V systems, SW180-family contactors are built in many coil and contact configurations. The exact coil voltage and duty rating must match the vehicle; a visually identical contactor with the wrong coil can fail immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as a small automotive relay?
No. It is a high-current DC contactor intended to switch traction/motor-level current.
Can I use any SW180-looking contactor on 48V?
No. Coil voltage and internal configuration must match the system.
What usually causes burned contactor contacts?
High switching current, arcing, loose cable connections or repeated operation outside the duty rating can damage contacts.
