Product Description

The Sensata Gigavac GX11CA DC contactor is designed for reliable high-voltage DC switching in compact battery and power control systems. As part of the GX11 Series, this model provides a 150A contact current rating and up to 800VDC maximum switching voltage. It is commonly used in electric vehicles, battery energy storage systems, solar power equipment, marine power systems, industrial DC cabinets, and OEM battery disconnect assemblies.

The GX11CA uses an SPST-NO main contact arrangement, also described as 1 Form X. The main power contact remains open when the coil is not energized and closes when the 24VDC coil receives the correct control signal. This allows a low-voltage control circuit to manage a higher-voltage DC load path. The 800VDC value belongs to the main switching circuit, while the 24VDC value belongs only to the coil control circuit.

A key advantage of the Sensata Gigavac GX11CA is its sealed hermetic construction. The sealed contact chamber helps protect the internal contact system from dust, humidity, oxidation, and contamination. This makes the GX11CA suitable for mobile equipment, outdoor battery systems, industrial power modules, and vehicle platforms where vibration, moisture, and harsh operating conditions can reduce the service life of ordinary open-frame contactors.

This model uses stud and wire lead termination for harness-based installation. The 38 cm / 15 in flying leads are practical for power distribution boxes, battery disconnect modules, EV control cabinets, and industrial assemblies where the main power terminals require secure stud connections and the coil circuit is routed through a wiring harness. Since GX11CA does not include an auxiliary contact, it is best suited for systems where separate contact feedback is not required.

Applications

The GX11CA DC contactor is suitable for systems that need reliable connection and disconnection of DC battery, load, or charging circuits. Typical applications include electric vehicles, battery energy storage systems, solar power equipment, DC power cabinets, marine battery systems, UPS battery modules, material handling equipment, and industrial automation systems.

In a battery system, the Sensata Gigavac GX11CA can be used as a main contactor, charge contactor, load disconnect contactor, or safety isolation device depending on the electrical design. Its 150A current rating makes it a good fit for medium-current DC platforms where sealed construction, compact size, and stable switching performance are required.

Why Choose Sensata Gigavac GX11CA

The Sensata Gigavac GX11CA is a practical option when the system requires 150A current capacity, up to 800VDC switching voltage, 24VDC coil operation, sealed construction, wire lead termination, and no auxiliary contact. Compared with versions that include auxiliary feedback, this model is simpler for designs where the controller does not need a separate auxiliary signal.

For replacement and maintenance projects, GX11CA should be selected when the original system requires GX11 Series performance with 150A contact rating, 800VDC maximum switching voltage, 24VDC coil voltage, chassis mounting, stud and wire lead termination, and no auxiliary contact. Before ordering, confirm coil voltage, auxiliary contact requirement, load current, switching voltage, mounting space, and terminal requirements.
