Product Details

HONGFA HFE85P-300 is a ceramic-brazed hermetically sealed high-voltage DC contactor for photovoltaic and energy-storage applications. It carries 300A continuously at 85°C with up to 1000V DC switching voltage, 2000A max breaking current and 450kW max switching power. The 1 Form A main contact is available with an optional 1 Form A auxiliary contact for position feedback, and the energy-saving single-coil PWM driver cuts holding power from 26W to just 3W.
Ordering Information

Part number structure HFE85 P -300/1000-12-HAL5P-5 decodes as: P = PV & energy storage application; 300 = 300A contact rating; 1000 = 1000V DC load voltage (450V/750V/1500V variants available); 12 or 24 = coil voltage; H = 1 Form A main contact; A = 1 Form A auxiliary contact; L = lead-wire coil termination; 5 = M6 internal-thread load terminal; P = energy-saving coil; 5 = single coil with PWM. Custom special codes are available on request.
Technical Drawing & Mounting

Outline dimensions are 80.4 × 62.3 × 72.8 mm with two M6 load terminals and mounting-hole pattern as shown. X1+/X2- are the coil leads and A1/A2 the auxiliary-contact ends (when fitted). Note that the load and the coil drive have a polarity requirement while the auxiliary contacts are non-polarized.

Mounting note: follow the recommended mounting-plate hole size and washer assembly shown in the official drawing. Using an oversized opening or insufficient washer strength can deform the flange and cause installation failure.
Why Choose HONGFA HFE85P-300?
1000V DC High-Voltage Switching
Rated for 1000V DC load voltage with 2000A max breaking current and 450kW max switching power — sized for commercial PV strings and high-voltage ESS DC links.
300A Continuous at 85°C
Carries 300A continuously at 85°C ambient while contact resistance stays ≤0.3 mΩ to minimize heat rise and power loss in battery and PV circuits.
Energy-Saving PWM Coil: 26W On / 3W Holding
The single-coil PWM drive draws 26W only during switch-on, then holds at 3W — cutting coil losses by up to 88% and reducing heat inside battery cabinets and inverter compartments.
Ceramic Brazed Hermetic Seal
Ceramic-to-metal sealing with hydrogen gas fill suppresses DC arcs and prevents contact oxidation; the contact block meets IP67 protection against dust and moisture ingress.
Built-In Auxiliary Contact Option
An optional 1 Form A auxiliary contact provides main-contact position feedback for BMS and inverter logic without external monitoring hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What does the "P" in HFE85P-300 mean?
Per HONGFA ordering information, P designates the PV and energy-storage application family. The sample code 1000-12-HAL5P-5 means 1000V DC load voltage, 300A contact rating, 12V DC coil, 1 Form A main contact, 1 Form A auxiliary contact, lead-wire coil termination, M6 internal-thread load terminal, energy-saving coil with single-coil PWM drive.
Q2: How does the energy-saving coil work?
The single coil is driven by a PWM economizer: it draws 26W to pick up and seal the armature, then the duty cycle is reduced to hold at only 3W. This cuts holding losses by up to 88%, reducing heat and auxiliary power draw in ESS cabinets.
Q3: Is HFE85P-300 polarity sensitive?
Yes. Both the load circuit and the coil drive have a polarity requirement, so + and - terminals must be wired correctly. The auxiliary contacts (when fitted) are non-polarized. Follow the wiring diagram printed on the product drawing.
Q4: How does HFE85P-300 compare with HFE85P-150 and HFE85P-250?
All three share the same 80.4 × 62.3 × 72.8 mm sealed package. HFE85P-150 is rated 150A continuous / 1000A max breaking / 300kW, HFE85P-250 is rated 250A continuous / 2000A max breaking / 400kW, and HFE85P-300 is rated 300A continuous / 2000A max breaking / 450kW. Choose by the continuous current of your DC circuit.
