The high-voltage P105 MiniTactor is the first in a new line of patent-pending switching devices developed by GIGAVAC. The hermetically sealed power contactor, which weighs less than four ounces (100 grams), can be installed in a matter of seconds in any orientation on a panel. The sealed chamber assures clean switching in all environments. Safe make and break power switching is achievable at any voltage up to 1500 V dc. Due to its bidirectional switching capability and current carry to 50 A, the cost-effective device will fit into most pre-charge, charge, and solar applications, including the electric-vehicle market.GIGAVAC
