Abstract
A contactor includes a housing defining a cavity. The contactor includes a switch assembly received in the cavity. The switch assembly includes first and second fixed contacts received in the cavity and 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 and second fixed contacts in the mated position. The switch assembly 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 heat transfer device coupled to the housing. The heat transfer device is thermally coupled to the first fixed contact and the second fixed contact to dissipate heat from the first fixed contact and the second fixed contact.
