Contactors suit solar applications to 1500 VDC

GIGAVAC (Santa Barbara, CA) announced two additions to its High Voltage Contactor line of advanced switching solutions. The HX21 and HX200 join the HX22 as the smallest UL508 recognized contactors for high current switching at 1000 VDC, according to the company.
