High-voltage relays

14 September 2011 Switches, Relays & Keypads

GIGAVAC has rolled out three new 15 kV, double-pole double-throw (DPDT) relays in the form of the G2SPD, G8SPD and G15SPD.

The G2SPD has copper-molybdenum contacts for 50 A d.c. current capability and provides 12 mΩ contact resistance. This low, stable contact resistance provides low voltage drop in DC circuits and low signal loss in RF circuits. The G8SPD and G15SPD have tungsten-molybdenum contacts which allow for the relay to be used in load switching applications.

The G15SPD uses a unique gas mixture that is particularly suited for loads such as capacitance discharge applications.

All three models have two sets of mechanically connected SPDT contacts. This provides the flexibility of using one set of contacts as auxiliaries to monitor the relay status. The relays measure approximately 9 by 3,8 cm and are available with either a 12 V or 26,5 V d.c. coil, which is suitable for drive circuits from 8 V through 28 V d.c. Special coils can be provided to meet customer requirements.
