Important:
The auxiliary contact wires are polarization sensitive and have no reverse voltage protection.
Please connect only as stated under column “Remarks”.
Coil (+) and coil (−) are suppressed with a surge protection device, see “Cautions and warnings”.
Auxiliary contact
Example circuits to realize stuck detection:
The contact Aux NO respectively Aux NC is internally implemented as a low-side switch.
To allow a safe operation, VIND and R must be selected in a way that the current through Aux NO
respectively Aux NC is limited to 0.8 A.
In case the contactor is stuck, the Aux GND (white) and Aux NO (blue) wires will be short, hence
the circuit is closed and the LED will be on or the Aux GND (white) and Aux NC (green) wires will
be open, hence the circuit is open and the LED will be off.
Important:
Aux Vcc must always be energized to enable the auxiliary contacts. If Vcc is not applied, Aux GND
and Aux NO respectively Aux NC will be high-ohmic.
The voltages Vcc and VIND must not be supplied by the same single physical voltage source as Vcoil.

The recommended cross section refers to pure copper. In other cases it must be matched to actual current, conductor
material properties and operation temperature (see: Cautions and warnings).
Referring to IEC 61810-10: 2019, test T2.5.4, table T3 for VCCmax = 32 V
Referring to IEC 60068-2-27
Referring to IEC 60068-2-6
Referring to IEC 60068-2-64
Freezing or condensing must be avoided.
Valid for base-model with 300 mm wires. Other configurations will lead to deviations.
The specified values apply to unused contactors acc. to IEC 61810-1.
Referring to IEC 60947-4-1, 6000 operations make & break
Referring to IEC 60947-4-1, 50% of operations in positive and 50% in negative direction (see: Cautions and warnings)
Detection limit 10 mA
Measured at rated control voltage UC including contact bouncing time.
Specified referring to JIS C 5442 (temperature 15 °C to 35 °C, humidity 25% to 85% RH).
End of life is reached when insulation resistance is < 50 MΩ at 1000 V.
Duty cycle 50%, cycle duration 1 s, value represents B10 life time acc. to Weibull analysis.
Duty cycle 1%, cycle duration 600 s
Tested for resistive loads with τ ≤ 1 ms
No fire and no explosion will occur after this break
At start up two coils are active. After ~100 ms one of the coils is switched off, leaving only a low power holding coil active.
Tolerance ±10% at thermal equilibrium
For „make & break life curves“ duty cycle is 10% and cycle duration is 6 s. For “break-only life curves” duty cycle is 1%
and cycle duration is 600 s.

To ensure a satisfying performance of this contactor in the application we strongly recommend to
implement redundancy, take measures to prevent the spread of fire, take the possibilities of
malfunction into account, and perform regular maintenance.
It is also required to always use a suitable backup fuse for the contactor.
It is not allowed to use the contactor outside of the parameter range specified in this data sheet.
This also includes temperature and humidity. Overloading may destroy the component.
The lifetime depends on several factors: e.g. load type, driving circuit and ambient conditions. We
recommend checking the performance of the part under actual conditions.
For capacitive loads the inrush current through the contactor should not exceed the specified
limit. Otherwise tack welding and permanent failure will occur.
Break of inductive loads with τ > 1 ms will shorten the lifetime and failure may occur.
In the event of a break under inductive load, the voltage at the connection terminals of the
contactor must not exceed the nominal operating voltage by more than 10 %.
For continuous high current operation, make sure that temperature at the connection terminals
does not exceed 130 °C by selecting an appropriate connection cable cross section or active
cooling.
The main connections of the contactor also act as a heat sink. Please ensure that the connection
surface area is fully covered with a matched cable lug or busbar and that the connection hole in
the busbar is according to DIN ISO 20273 (middle clearance).
The leads to the contactor must be securely tightened to the terminals (check torque specification
in data sheet), otherwise current stress may generate sparks and heating. Use only suitable
screws or bolts and nuts for all mechanical connections to the contactor and verify their
functionality in the application.
For parts with copper outer threads (F-types): When doing multiple fixation a slight elongation of
the outer thread is possible. We recommend to use always the same busbar height for multiple
fixation.
After long-term operation, the contactor coil resistance is increased due to the temperature rise. If
the contactor is switched on immediately afterwards the coil characteristics may be deteriorated.
The coil contacts need to be protected from overvoltage when switching off. Therefore, a
protection device is installed in parallel. No further protection device shall be used parallel to coil.
For successful pick-up, the voltage cannot be ramped up slowly. The voltage needs to be applied
instantly to at least the maximum pick-up voltage.
The contactor is not intended to be used with pulse width modulation (PWM) controllers. Please
contact TDK for details.
Simultaneously applied maximum operation parameters for e.g. coil voltage, over currents,
temperature, vibration etc. may lead to reduced lifetime. We recommend applying rated settings
to achieve optimum life performance.
The HVC27 series is bi-directional (e.g. no polarity of main contacts), the service life curves are
estimated based on the requirements of IEC60947-4-1; Chapter 8.2.4 where 50% of the required
operations are performed in positive direction and 50% in negative direction.
For contactors equipped with auxiliary contacts: The auxiliary contact (“stuck detection”) is no real
parallel contact; delivers only an indirect source of information about the actual switching status.
For full compatibility with EN61000-4-5, the auxiliary connection wires need to be surge
protected. We recommend the usage of TDK S10K30 varistors from each Aux port to another.

For additional safety, the contactor must be mounted in a way that the vertical axis of the part (Zaxis) is not in line with the main shock axis inside the application.
Still, it must be mounted either upright standing or horizontal lying on either side.
Upside down mounting must be avoided and only the original mounting holes are allowed to be
used to mount the part.
Contactors radiate magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Please ensure that other components
mounted in close proximity are not affected.
In case two contactors are mounted in close proximity, a clearance distance of 10 mm has to be
kept.
The operating life of the contactor can be affected by strong magnetic fields. Please ensure that
there are no magnetic field sources in close proximity and avoid nearby installed heat sources.
The contactor must not be operated without any load. This may increase contact resistance.
Contactors may become hot during extended periods of current overload (burn hazard).
Contactors must be handled with care and must not be dropped. The attached wires are not
allowed to be used for lifting and handling the part (max. allowed pull-force is 10 N).
If a current occurred that exceeded the maximum breaking current by more than 50% or triggered
a series fuse, the contactor is considered damaged and must be replaced.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for failures caused by condensation or icing. The
customer has to apply suitable measures to avoid these circumstances.
This contactor is not waterproof.
It must be ensured that during usage, storage, or transportation direct sunlight is avoided.
The ambient temperature during usage must not exceed the value specified in this data sheet.
It is forbidden to use this contactor in atmospheres loaded with organic solvents (alcohol,
petroleum, etc.) or strong alkaline substances (ammoniac, acids in general, etc.).
It must be ensured that during installation and operation no kind of foreign matter adheres to the
main contact. Especially oils and silicones must be avoided.
It is forbidden to attach any kind of additional construction to or on the contactor.
If the contactor is equipped with two coils (dual coil), during pick-up, both coils are active. After
approximately 100 ms, one coil will be removed electronically from the circuit.
Fast and consecutive switching of the contactor is not allowed. The minimum OFF time is 5 s. If
switching happens in faster cycles, the coil may become hot and fail.
For dual coil: Distortions of the DC supply of the contactor may influence the electronics.
Superimposed voltages at frequencies > 10 Hz and > 3 V peak to peak must be avoided.
Otherwise, the coil may become hot and fail.
This contactor is tested and classified according to UL as an open-type device. This means the
contactor is intended to be installed in an ultimate enclosure provided by a third party.
Furthermore, the contactor coil circuit is intended to be powered with a Class 2 source.

Important notes
The following applies to all products named in this publication:
1. Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for
certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical
requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We
nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding
statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application. As a
rule we are either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them than the
customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the customer to
check and decide whether a product with the properties described in the product specification is
suitable for use in a particular customer application.
2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of electronic components or failure
before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current state
of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications requiring a very high
level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which the malfunction or failure
of an electronic component could endanger human life or health (e.g. in accident prevention or lifesaving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of suitable design of the customer
application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation of protective circuitry or
redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the event of malfunction or
failure of an electronic component.
3. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.
4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this
publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.
because they are classed as hazardous). Useful information on this will be found in our Material
Data Sheets on the Internet (www.tdk-electronics.tdk.com/material). Should you have any more
detailed questions, please contact our sales offices.
5. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this
publication may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product
specifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications
contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an order.
We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently,
we cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be available.
The aforementioned does not apply in the case of individual agreements deviating from the
foregoing for customer-specific products.
6. Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to our General Terms and
Conditions of Supply.
7. Our manufacturing sites serving the automotive business apply the IATF 16949 standard.
The IATF certifications confirm our compliance with requirements regarding the quality
management system in the automotive industry. Referring to customer requirements and customer
specific requirements (“CSR”) TDK always has and will continue to have the policy of respecting
individual agreements. Even if IATF 16949 may appear to support the acceptance of unilateral
requirements, we hereby like to emphasize that only requirements mutually agreed upon can
and will be implemented in our Quality Management System. For clarification purposes we like
to point out that obligations from IATF 16949 shall only become legally binding if individually agreed
upon.
