Santa Barbara, California - GIGAVACŪ, today's expert in high voltage relays and sealed contactors, announces the GX14-a new, completely sealed 350 Amp single pole, single throw normally open contactor that can power switch both AC and DC up to 750 volts.

The new GX14 is available with high efficiency "cut-throat" DC coils that have built-in coil suppression. Measuring only 57mm (2.25 in.) in height, the GX14 sealed contactor with easy-connect industry standard chassis level power connections, can be mounted in any direction practically anywhere without having to bend the large connecting power cables or develop special bus bars. Single pole, double throw (SPDT) auxiliary contacts rated at 2 Amps are available as an option.
"We have studied industry needs extensively and have created an entire family of truly unique, low-cost sealed multi-purpose contactors for both AC and DC switching.
