Sensata | Gigavac Patended EPIC® Technology Application Note
The GIGAVAC Extended Performance Impervious Ceramic (EPIC®) sealing technology is a major breakthrough in low-cost, high quality sealing of contactors and relays.
Learn MoreApplication Note: Direction of Current Flow for Contactors
All Sensata | Gigavac contactors can carry current in both directions on closed contacts. The term “bidirectional” refers to the ability to switch/open while current is flowing. Most Sensata | Gi
Learn MoreApplication Note: Pre-charge Circuits and Capacitors
Inrush currents from capacitors are the most common cause of contactor failure. Capacitors that are not fully charged can result in excessive loads being switched.
