Gigavac GH3 SPDT High Voltage Relay - 3.5kV / 18A
The Gigavac GH3 is a compact, vacuum-sealed Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) high-voltage relay designed for high-speed switching and reliable power management. Engineered to handle peak voltages up to 3.5kV and a continuous carry current of 18 Amps, the GH3 stands out with its ultra-fast 6ms operate and release times. Its hermetically sealed vacuum dielectric ensures low (0.02 Ohms) and stable contact resistance over a mechanical life of 2 million cycles. This makes the GH3 an ideal solution for applications where space is limited but fast response and long-term durability are critical.
