A　new　intelligent　contactor　with　wide-range　input　voltage　and　auto-adaptive　control　is　presented　in　this　paper.　It　will　be　illustrated　that　how　the　performance　and　specifications　of　current　art　contactors　can　be　substantially　improved,　by　using　the　state　of　the　art　technologies　in　power　electronics,　microcontrollers　and　transducers,　to　achieve　superior　reliability　in　a　wide　range　of　AC　and　DC　input　voltages,　energy　savings　and　silent　operation.　Due　to　its　relatively　simple　implementation　and　reduced　time-to-market,　it　is　likely　for　this　type　of　device　to　establish　itself　in　a　variety　of　applications　in　the　near　future.
