GX Series — Hermetically Sealed DC Contactors800 Vdc Patented Technology

The GIGAVAC GX series is a field-proven, patented ceramic-insulated hermetic flagship DC contactor family in service since 2002. 26 models deliver 150-1000 A continuous current and switching from 12 to 800 Vdc.
RoHS compliant and mountable in any orientation, GX operates from -55 °C to 85 °C and runs reliably in harsh environments including underwater; cRUus certified.
Beyond standard NO models, the family includes latching, current-sensing, CAN-bus (GXC) and PWM-coil variants — chosen for EV power management, ESS, industrial control and pre-charge circuits.

Coil codes: B (12 Vdc), C (24 Vdc), F (48 Vdc), H (72 Vdc), J (120 Vdc), K (120 Vac), L (240 Vac) – all include Internal Coil Suppression as standard. S and T are Low-Power versions of 12 Vdc and 24 Vdc with Internal Coil Suppression. M and P apply only to GXV600 / GXV611 (M = 12/24 Vdc Internal PWM, P = 12/24 Vdc External PWM). GXL14 supports only B and C coils. GXVB611 supports only C (24 Vdc).

Auxiliary contact rating: 2A, 24VDC (Form A = SPST-NO and Form B = SPST-NC).

TECHNICAL DIFFERENTIATORS

Why GX Series?

Wide Current Range

  • 150 A to 1000 A continuous contact current

    Single supplier for every system size from 12 V to 800 V.

  • Inrush capability up to 5000 A

    Safe response to inrush surges in EV pre-charge and ESS.

Hermetic Seal

  • Hermetic seal built on patented ceramic insulation technology

    High-temperature tolerance, stable operation in harsh environments — including underwater — and long life.

  • Wide operating range from -55 °C to 85 °C

    Consistent performance in extreme cold and heat (off-road, military).

Position-independent Mounting

  • Bottom · Stand-up · Side · Busbar mount options

    26 models cover virtually any panel architecture.

  • Mount in any desired orientation

    Flexible panel design, fast install, optimised footprint.

Built-in Coil Suppression

  • Internal coil suppression on every DC-coil variant

    No external diode/snubber needed — shorter install time, lower BOM.

  • Stainless-steel hardware and mounting inserts

    Years of corrosion-free service — ideal for marine and humid environments.

Smart Variant Portfolio

  • Latching (GXL), current sensing (GXSA), CAN-bus (GXC), PWM coil (GXV)

    BMS integration, current protection and digital comms — all from one family.

  • NO (Normally Open) and NC (Normally Closed) options

    Safe break or make architecture, depending on circuit topology.
