High Current Switch

Next generation semi-conductor relays – intelligent and cost efficient – The High Current Switch is a semi-conductor relay with capacity to break high currents (up to 400A). Our High Current Switch has a built in functionality for current measurement and temperature measurement as well as an option for CAN-BUS and/or I/O communication. The typical applications are battery disconnector, pre-heater control unit, battery management or to replace a power relay in various high current automotive applications.

Product advantages

General product advantages for High Current Switch

Excellent heat transfer
Can handle high current > 400A continuously
Good communication, possibility to get status, voltage current and temperature.
Compact design with built in cooling plate with good possibilities to achieve even higher heat transfer.
Design for automotive applications

When replacing the control relay with a High Current Switch, there will be

increased component lifetime,
increased number of switches
can handle higher current both continuous and higher peaks
less risk of issues with heat build up
less cost of changing out power relays
increased possibilities for constant monitoring
