Optional High Efficiency Dual DC Coil
s
– Very low 12 or 24 VDC
continuous coil power with no EMI emissions or cross-talk on your
system control power. Ideal for battery powered systems or where low
power is needed.
Built-in coil suppression for all DC coil
s
– Saves you engineering
time and parts cost to add external coil suppression.
Stainless steel hardware and mounting insert

.
UL508 ambient compliant to 75°C but can operate continuously at 85°
C with a higher terminal temperature rise of 60°C. Can also operate up
to 125°C in special cases - contact GIGAVAC for details.
Not position sensitive
–
can be mounted in any position for ease of
installation
.
Electrical life rating is based on resistive load with 2
7
µH maximum inductance in circuit. Because your application may be
different, we suggest you test the contactor in your circuit to verify life is as required.
End of life is defined as when the dielectric, insulation resistance or contact resistance exceeds the specifications listed
.
If your application requires a higher current rating, you may want to consider the GIGAVAC 350 Amp GX14 EPIC

1/ Assumes UL508 ratings with 4/0 cables, UL508 max ambient temperature of 75°C as shown, and max. UL508 terminal
t
emperature rise of 50°C. For loads of 150A and below and the life cycle rating shown is longer than you need, you may
w
ant to consider the lesser priced GIGAVAC GX11 EPIC® sealed contactor. Smaller sized cables can be used at the
lower currents - see UL specifications for recommended cable sizes.
A
t 85°C ambient, contactor can also meet all of its 75°C specifications but the terminal temperature can rise can be up to
60°C, which is higher than the 50°C rise allowed by UL508 and can be higher than some cable insulation ratings.
