G12LSP Relay Selection Notes for High-Voltage Control Applications cover

Technical selection notes for the G12LSP relay, based on available product data including 8kV rating, DPDT contact form, latching coil and solder pot high-voltage connection.

The G12LSP relay is listed in our product data as an 8kV DPDT bistable high-voltage relay from Gigavac (Sensata Technologies). It is a latching relay with a 26.5VDC coil, panel mount construction and solder pot high-voltage connection. These notes explain how buyers can use the available data when evaluating the relay for a high-voltage control application.

Confirmed product data

  • Contact arrangement: DPDT.
  • Voltage rating: 8kV DC or 60Hz.
  • Current rating: 10A DC or 60Hz.
  • Dielectric: vacuum.
  • Contact material: molybdenum/tungsten.
  • Mounting: panel mount.
  • High-voltage connection: solder pot.
  • Coil type: latching.
  • Coil voltage: 26.5VDC.
  • Coil termination: turret terminal.
  • Operate time: 15 ms; release time: 9 ms.
  • Mechanical cycles: 1 million.
  • Operating temperature: -55 to +125 C.
  • Reach and RoHS compliant: yes.

How to use this information during selection

Start by checking whether the circuit requires a DPDT relay and whether the 8kV, 10A rating fits the application. The G12LSP relay should be considered only when the system requirements align with these confirmed ratings and the latching coil behavior is suitable for the control strategy.

The latching coil means the control design should account for set and reset behavior rather than treating the relay as a standard continuously energized non-latching relay. The 26.5VDC coil voltage and turret terminal coil termination should also match the available control circuit and wiring method.

Connection and mounting review

The available data identifies panel mount construction and solder pot high-voltage connection. Before ordering, buyers should confirm that the equipment layout, insulation design and assembly process can support those connection and mounting requirements. If a different mounting or termination style is required, the inquiry should state that clearly so an alternative relay family can be reviewed.
