Gigavac has made a further addition to the extensive line of EPIC sealed contactors – the MX56. The Single Pole Single Throw Normally Open (SPST-NO) MX56 is rated for continuous duty up to 600 amps and is capable of switching 600 amps at 24 V DC or AC, 100 000 times.
The MX56 was developed for high reliability applications such as military vehicles, buses, emergency vehicles, mining equipment and power backup systems. Lightweight and compact, the MX56 utilises Gigavac’s leading edge coil technology – defined as low coil hold power without the noise issues associated with pulse-width modulation (PWM) coils. The MX56 can be used in nearly any harsh environment, including under water, as well as at temperatures from –55 to 90°C (up to 200°C with special coils). It is not position sensitive and an optional SPST-NO auxiliary contact driven off the main armature gives a true indication of the main contact position.
Designed and manufactured in the USA by Gigavac, the MX56 is RoHS compliant and engineered to meet the requirements of MiL-R-6106 (military specification). The side-mount option has been a request from several customers. It provides an important configuration choice for engineers looking to optimise chassis design. Since it has the EPIC seal, the MX56 can be mounted virtually anywhere in a system.
