Eddicy C800 contactors chosen for a new series of electric trucks

The electrification of heavy transport places high demands on the components used in high-voltage circuits. For a new generation of electric trucks, the C800 contactors from Eddicy, a Schaltbau sub-brand for electrification and e-mobility, have been selected.

Reliable switching up to 1,000 V DC

These contactors are designed for the safe switching of direct voltages up to 1,000 V DC and continuous currents of 500 A. The compact design combines a high breaking capacity of up to 6,000 A at 20 ms, without contact welding, with a long service life. This makes the C800 suitable for use in, among other things, the BDU (Battery Disconnect Unit) of an electric truck.

Eddicy as a Schaltbau brand

The choice of this European OEM manufacturer of electric trucks for the C800 confirms the importance of high-quality, durable components. At the same time, it demonstrates that Eddicy, as a Schaltbau brand, holds a strong position in the electric mobility and energy storage market. In addition to the C800 series, the Eddicy portfolio includes various other DC contactors used worldwide in vehicles, charging stations and energy systems. Eddicy thus makes a clear contribution to a safe and reliable energy transition.
