Ceramic DPDT Relay Handles 15 kV

Described as the only 15-kV relay of its kind, the RoHS-compliant G23 ceramic, DPDT vacuum relay combines molybdenum moveable contacts with copper stationary contacts that yield a 10-milliOhm contact resistance. The component employs oversize contacts and a strong actuator that enables a continuous current rating of 75 Adc and it can hot switch under load in most circuits. Measuring approximately 4" x 2 ", the G23 is available with a nominal 26.5-Vdc coil, which is suitable for driving circuits from 20 to 28 Vdc. Pricing is $440 each/5 or $287 each/50.
