A contactor includes a housing having a wall defining a cavity and a cover closing the cavity. The contactor includes a first fixed contact and a second fixed contact received in the cavity. The contactor includes a movable contact movable within the cavity between a mated position and an unmated position. The movable contact engages the first and second fixed contacts to electrically connect the first fixed contact and the second fixed contact in the mated position. The contactor includes a coil assembly in the cavity operated to move the movable contact between the unmated position and the mating position. The contactor includes a thermal absorber thermally coupled to the first fixed contact to reduce an operating temperature of the first fixed contact. The thermal absorber includes a phase change material element configured to absorb heat from the first fixed contact.
