HX Series – High-Voltage Contactors

Hermetically sealed High-Voltage DC Contactors are the world’s smallest UL508-approved contactors for 1000V high-voltage switching. Since first introducing the ceramic seal in 2006, Sensata | Gigavac sealed contactors have become the preferred choice for any application requiring sealed switching. Utilizing a hermetical seal means these high-voltage contactors exceed the sealing requirements of IP67 and IP69.

Going beyond hermetic sealing, the HX Series can withstand the rigors of virtually any harsh environment whether underwater or in the desert sun. The HX Series of High-Voltage Hermetically Sealed Contactors are particularly suited for inverter systems, battery packs, and combiner boxes in solar or wind power systems.

Applications

  • Energy Storage System
  • DC fast charging
  • Photovoltaic controls

P Series MiniTACTOR Power Contactors

This line of patented MiniTACTOR power contactors is small, lightweight, and cost effective.  At less than 140 grams, the Sensata | Gigavac P-Series contactor can easily be installed in any orientation on a panel or PCB in a matter of seconds. Both the contacts and the coil are contained within a hermetically sealed chamber to ensure clean switching in any environment. Safe MAKE and BREAK power switching can be achieved at any voltage up to 1500Vdc.

The UL recognized, cRUus, P115 complies with solar energy requirements under NEC 690.11 and NEC 690.12. The MiniTACTOR models have a current carry of up to 80 amps and performance specifications that you would normally find in far more expensive contactors.

Applications

  • Precharge circuits
  • Battery chargers
