Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a contactor, and more particularly to a contactor suitable for soldering onto a circuit board. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, DC contactors play a crucial role in new energy vehicles and their charging equipment. They are widely used in charging piles and electric vehicles to ensure safe current transmission and stable system operation. In charging pile applications, DC contactors are installed on the DC output side of DC charging piles, charging stations, or the output side of on-board chargers. When the contactor is closed, it connects the charging pile to the vehicle, enabling power transmission; when open, it isolates the charging pile from external connections, providing safety protection. In electric vehicle applications, DC contactors are typically configured between the battery system and the inverter. When the system is running, it connects the power supply terminal to the load terminal, ensuring smooth current transmission; when the system stops operating or a fault occurs, it can quickly disconnect the circuit, safely separating the energy storage system from the vehicle's electrical system. Furthermore, DC contactors also serve as important electrical control devices in other auxiliary circuits of electric vehicles. In existing technologies, coils and auxiliary contacts generally use wires or connectors as leads, while main contacts generally use internal threads or external studs as leads. Therefore, existing contactors are not suitable for direct soldering onto circuit boards and require adapter terminals or adapter connectors to connect to the circuit boards. This increases the manufacturing cost of the contactors, reduces their installation efficiency, and increases the installation space required for the contactors. Summary of the Invention
