Gigavac’s MX Series extended performance impervious ceramic (EPIC) sealed AC and DC contactors are designed to meet MIL-R-6106 and are especially suited for military vehicles and heavy duty applications.

The dual coil design allows for low power coil operation without the use of EMI generating PWMs.
Options with NO, NC and latching contactors are available, as well as versions with integrated current and/or voltage sensing abilities. Other features include:
