“VC-2” SPDT Relay

We obtained these unbranded relays from an OEM (original equipment manufacturer)in a large lot. They are of similar ratings to types such as Kilovac KC-2, Jennings RJ-2, and Gigavac G2 series. They appear to have been manufactured by one of the major manufacturers for the OEM as an unbranded “house” component, and we are able to offer them brand new, unused, as a very low-cost alternative for the builder looking for a new part with high electrical ratings at a budget price.  Contacts rated at 15 kv peak, and 50 amps maximum current. (Solder terminal type.)  Supplied with 26.5 vdc coil. Threaded base with mounting nut and washer supplied.  Diameter, not including terminals is approximately one inch.  Length is 2.125 inch including coil terminals.  New / unused.

These heavy duty terminals increase (slightly) the relay's maximum current handling capability. These terminals use 1/16" hex screws. (Most types of high current terminals on vacuum relays use Bristol spline screws.)

**Max-Gain Systems, Inc. is a FULL LINE distributor of genuine Bristol spline products, should you need them for other relays.

**** Removed from equipment, checked, and guaranteed.

Price:  $159 each. (Order Now!)

NOTE: We also sometimes have the TORR Labs equivalent type (shown in the photo at top) at the same price.


Jennings RJ1A-26S (standard version) SPDT ceramic vacuum relay and RJ1A-26N969 (silicone encapsulated version) SPDT ceramic vacuum relay.  

We usually have both types of the extremely popular RJ1A vacuum relays available, the -26S standard version, and the -26N969 silicone encapsulated version. These relays are perfect for high-speed  (8 milliseconds or less!) RF switching applications such as "QSK" in RF amplifiers. The major difference in the two types is that the 26N969 version is rated for TWICE the maximum voltage as the -26S. (10 kv as opposed to 5 kv at 60 Hz.) It also has the advantage of even quieter operation due to the layer of highly purified white silicone which is cast over the ceramic of the standard 26S version. It is also slightly more rugged due to the protective layer, and the contact leads are easier to use. While the 26N969 was designed primarily for medical applications and specs are not listed for it to 32 Mhz on the Jennings site, these relays have been used successfully with rave reviews by many of our customers to 30 Mhz. Expected life, both types, is 2 million operations.

NOTE: Our customers who buy these relays frequently are also seeking high speed reed relays or switching relays. We have the ideal answer in our RFK-6396 relays, here: http://www.mgs4u.com/RF-Microwave/RFrelays_misc.htm

http://www.jenningstech.com/ps/jen/pub_product_detail.cgi?&pro_pt_id=2&pro_id=472

Mounting nuts are not included, but are an option (below), since there are better mounting methods available. Both types have identical threaded bases.

Click here for discussion of mounting methods for these two types of relays.

Photos show close-up views of the 26N969 relays, and a comparative shot of the 26N969 with the 26S version, which may be either the familiar blue paint trim or the imprinted label version (identical).

 

We also show the mounting nut, as well as the aluminum hold-down bracket and a piece of the silicone sheet material which may be used for mounting these relays. The aluminum hold-down bracket will not work with the 26N969 because of increased diameter of the top of the relay due to the silicone layer.  Standard coil voltage on all RJ1 series relays is 26 VDC. Optional 12 vdc coils are now available!

Note: These relays are sometimes seen for sale on used medical equipment boards, and can have a high test failure rate. Our stock is tested and hipotted, and fully satisfaction guaranteed! (Why risk your equipment on an "unknown"?)

Price for RJ1A-26S :  $39.50                                               
Price for RJ1A-26N969:
 $47.50 ( Order Now! )      
Price of 12 VDC coils for RJ1A (new):
 $22.50 each

Price of  OPTIONAL mounting nuts, if needed: $1 each.   Aluminum hold-down brackets or silicone sheet will be furnished free with purchase on request.


SPECIAL NOTICE .... we are now also an authorized distributor of Gigavac relays, and we have the Gigavac equivalent of the RJ1A-26S (the Gigavac GH-1) available brand new, factory fresh,  in your choice of either 12 VDC or 26 VDC coil, at only $69.00 each! We think that this is the lowest price available anywhere on these relays in new condition. If ordering, order as Gigavac GH-1, and specify coil voltage.

Replacement Coils and Contact Sets

When a vacuum relay fails, it is of course very rare for both the removable coil and the contact set to both fail at the same time. Lightning damage is normally the only cause of simultaneous failure. The coil is easily removable by means of a screw or nut on the very bottom of the relay. This leaves the contact set (with contacts still sealed in a vacuum). The failed component can be easily replaced at well less than the cost of an entire new unit. 

We have a good assortment of coils (All are 26.5 vdc coils unless specifically noted otherwise.) And contact sets available as listed below:

COILS:          

Kilovac H-8..........$12.50  Jennings RB1D.........$12.50  Jennings RE6B.....$29.00
Kilovac H-9..........$29.00 Jennings RB-3..........$29.00 Jennings RS-8........$49.00
Kilovac H-14.......$29.00 Jennings RB-4.........$49.00  
Kilovac H-16........$29.00  Jennings RJ-2.........$49.00
