GX110: New sealed High Power Contactor from GIGAVAC

  • News

GIGAVAC announces an addition to their extensive line of Advanced Switching Solutions — the GX110. The Single Pole Single Throw – Normally Open (SPST‐NO) GX110 is rated for continuous duty up to 1000 amps and capable of switching high current loads at voltages to 800Vdc.

The GX110 was developed for applications where both high voltages and high currents need to be controlled with the certainty of galvanic isolation. Considering its ability to carry up to 5000 amps for short durations the GX110 is both lightweight and compact. It utilizes GIGAVAC’s cut throat coil technology which means low coil hold power without the noise issues associated with PWM coils.

And the GX110 can be used in nearly any harsh environment including under water and at temperatures from –55°C to 90°C (up to 200°C with special coils). Using GIGAVAC’s EPIC® hermetic seal the GX110 is designed to meet UL1604 for Class I & II, Div 2 and Class III for use in hazardous locations along with IP67 for temporary water immersion for 30 min, SAE J1171 ‐ external ignition protection, and ISO8846 for protection against ignition around flammable gasses.

The GX110 can also be mounted in any position. An optional Single Pole Single Throw auxiliary contact driven off the main armature gives true indication of the main contact position. The integrated Deutsch connector provides an easy interface for the coil and the optional auxiliary contacts. Designed and manufactured in the USA by GIGAVAC the GX110 is RoHS compliant.
