    Abstract: A contactor assembly includes a stationary assembly, a movable assembly that is slidably coupled with the stationary assembly, and a contact assembly coupled within the stationary assembly and the movable assembly. The contact assembly is movable between a first switching position where an electrically closed circuit is established and a second position where an electrically open position is established. The stationary assembly has a solenoid housing that is used to move the movable assembly between the first position and the second position. The solenoid housing may include a first coil and a second coil therein. Further, a pair of magnets is positioned between the solenoid coils and the housing to provide magnetic flux to maintain the contactor in an electrically closed position.
