The G9E dc-power-relay series provides a means of disconnection in high-power-battery applications. The relays feature a sealed, gas-filled construction for cooling the arc created during switching. Reducing the contact gap improves operating noise and allows a 70% reduction in overall size, compared with contactors. Operating-coil voltages include 12, 24, 48, 60, and 100V dc. The G9EA measures 36×73×67.2 mm in versions operating at 60A at 400V dc and 100A at 120V dc; the G9EC measures 44×98×86.7 mm in a version operating at 200A at 400V dc; and the G9EB measures 25×60×58 mm and switches 25A at 250V dc. The devices are available in SPST-NO (single-pole/single-throw/normally open) contact configuration. The G9EA sells for $110 to $140, the G9EB sells for $99 to $103, and the G9EC sells for $220 to $240.
