The **Gigavac GH5** is an ultra-compact, vacuum-sealed Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) high-voltage relay, specifically engineered for high-speed switching and precision isolation in space-constrained electronic assemblies. Designed to handle peak voltages up to **3.5kV** and a continuous carry current of **8 Amps**, the GH5 is distinguished by its lightning-fast **6ms** operate and release times. Its hermetically sealed vacuum dielectric provides stable performance over a remarkable mechanical life of **2 million cycles**. This makes the GH5 an ideal choice for RF communication, medical diagnostic equipment, and high-density test systems where speed and long-term reliability are non-negotiable.
