Gigavac GX22 Series Contactors
Gigavac GX22 Series Contactors are hermetically sealed switches designed for high-performance applications up to 800VDC and 225+ Amps. These contactors feature IP67 and IP69K ratings, offering exceptional durability against water and dust. The EPIC® seal ensures reliability in extreme temperatures up to 175°C, reiterating the reduced risk of fire or meltdown in overcurrent conditions. The GX22 contractors offer built-in coil suppression for all DC coils and employ stainless steel nuts, washers, and mounting inserts for years of corrosion-free service. These contractors are ideal for hazardous environments, adhering to UL1604 and SAE J1171 standards, making them suitable for industrial, automotive, and aerospace applications.
