Gigavac G52WF SPDT vacuum relay
These are the heaviest-duty vacuum relays we have EVER seen in this (SPDT) contact configuration! Contacts are rated 150 amps, and 25kv (30 kv peak)! This IS an RF rated relay! Brand new, unused stock.
Ceramic body for extra ruggedness and current handling capability. Flange mount type (3 mounting slots). These are physically large, as shown in the accompanying photo with a US one dollar bill for size reference. For manufacturer's data sheet, click here: http://www.gigavac.com/products/relays/datasheets/g52/index.htm
Diameter, not including terminals, is 2.375 inches. Diameter of flange is 3.5 inches. Height, (overall) is 5.07 inches. Weight is 1,000 grams, or 35 ounces (2.19 pounds). Terminals are drilled and tapped, and are furnished with mating screws. This is THE choice for the most extreme high-power applications where single pole, double throw contacts are required. Furnished with 26 vdc coil, (60 ohms). Note: an optional 12 vdc coil is also available for this relay, (resistance is 15 ohms, + or - 10%) at a price of only $25.00, and is normally a stocked item. Mfr's list price of relay: $986. By means of a special purchase, we have an unbelievable price on this relay. far too low to publish!

"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.
Price each: $95.00 (Order Now!) |

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 |

Complete specifications for the "standard" version of the RJ1A ... the RJ1A-26S... from the Jennings website:
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.
Click here for photos illustrating grommet mounting options.
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"?)
WHEN ORDERING THESE RELAYS, specify type, "new" or "used", and desired coil voltage. Also specify whether or not you require optional mounting nut.
Price for RJ1A-26S: $69.00 (new, unused, old stock) Sorry, but this item is temporarily out of stock.
Price for RJ1A-26S : $39.50 (removed from equipment, checked) Sorry, but this item is temporarily out of stock.
Price for RJ1A-26N969: $47.50 (removed from equipment, checked) Sorry, but this item is temporarily out of stock.
Price of 12 VDC coils for RJ1A (new): $22.50 each (When ordering coils only, specify "COIL ONLY" and state coil voltage required, and relay type you are buying it to fit.)
( Order Now! )
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 a reseller of a very wide range 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 $79.00 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.

Why pay thousands of dollars?
Replacement Coils
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 most vacuum relays. 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.) If you do not see the coil you want, please feel free to call or email with your needs. We frequently have additional coils that are not shown here.

Kilovac H-8 coil..........$12.50 |

Replacement relay for ART-13 transmitter
We have obtained a small supply of these VERY hard to find replacement vacuum relays as used in the famous ART-13 military autotune transmitter from WW2. Part number is GL-1S21. Some look unused, others appear to have been removed from equipment. All are guaranteed. SPDT. Actuated by external mechanism from the transmitter. Note: To remove or reattach the contact terminals, tiny Bristol spline wrenches may be required. They are cheaply available as the SS-508 L-key kit, here: http://www.mgs4u.com/Bristol-spline-L-keys.htm Price each: $49.00 (Order Now!)
