Compact, Lightweight, and Tough: the Latest in Busbar-Mount Contactor Technology from Leach International


BUENA PARK, Calif. - Jan. 20, 2009 - In addition to their already successful lineup of relays and contactors, Leach International announced today the release of three Busbar-mount contactor product lines for commercial and military aerospace applications that are compact, lightweight and simple to install. Designed for high reliability applications, the WB, ZB and HB lines are significant additions to the component lines currently available to the aerospace and power switching markets.

Continuing to set the standard in contactor technology, the Busbar WB, ZB and HB product lines are compact, dust-sealed designs weighing only between 1.25 and 2 lbs and meet Mil-PRF-6106 environmental requirements for mechanical shock, vibration and temperature fluctuations.

Engineered for "quick change" installation and configured to be mounted in any direction, the series is an important addition to Leach International's vast array of specialized power switching components. The contacts have been designed with higher reliability, improving their wear and lifespan. The HB series has been engineered with ground fault protection to ensure fast isolation within milliseconds in case of a fault. The WB, ZB, and HB lines feature faster switching that minimizes heat dissipation for improved power distribution.

The WB, ZB and HB Busbar-mount contactor lines are available today.
