GIGAVAC 1500V HX Contactors

GIGAVAC 1500V HX Series Contactors are compact, hermetically sealed high-voltage DC contactors available in ceramic and epoxy versions. These contactors are UL508-approved for 1000V high-voltage switching and exceed the IP67 and IP69 sealing standards due to their hermetic design. The 1500V HX series contactors are well-suited for applications in inverter systems, battery packs, and combiner boxes used in solar or wind power systems.

Features

HX Normally Open Contactors Ceramic:

  • Designed to meet UL1604 for hazardous locations, class I and II, Div2, and class III
  • High-efficiency dual DC coils:
    • Very low 12Vdc, 24Vdc, or 48Vdc continuous power coils with no EMI emissions or cross-talk on any system control power
  • Small, compact contactor for switching 1000+Vdc
  • Stand-up mounting with integrated safety cover:
    • Finger-safe
    • Touch-safe protection

HX Normally Open Contactors Epoxy:

  • Built-in coil suppression for all DC coils:
