G23WF Relay Selection Notes for 20kV DPDT High-Voltage Circuits

The G23WF relay is a high-voltage relay reference for buyers reviewing 20kV DPDT switching requirements. Sorint product records list G23WF as a Gigavac (Sensata Technologies) high-voltage relay with vacuum dielectric, 75A current rating and screw high-voltage connection. Those fields make the model relevant when a purchasing team needs a power relay supplier to review a specific relay line before quotation.

This technical note is written for EV support equipment, energy storage service systems, industrial DC power platforms, high-voltage test equipment and maintenance replacement programs. It is not an interchangeability approval. Final relay selection should be checked against the buyer's drawing, equipment requirement, approved vendor list and engineering review.

Core G23WF relay parameters for RFQ review

Sorint records list the G23WF relay with a DPDT contact arrangement. The switching voltage is listed as 20kV DC or 60Hz, and the current rating is listed as 75A DC or 60Hz. The relay uses vacuum dielectric and molybdenum/tungsten contact material. These fields should appear in the first inquiry because voltage class alone does not fully identify a high-voltage relay.

The records also show flange mounting, screw high-voltage connection and turret terminal coil termination. G23WF is listed with a 380 gram weight, 1 million mechanical cycles, -55 to +125 C operating temperature, 10G vibration and 50G shock. Buyers can use these values as RFQ review fields while still confirming final acceptance criteria with their technical team.

Coil voltage and connection details to confirm

G23WF records include non-latching coil construction. Sorint records show a 26.5 Vdc coil version under the G23WF relay name and a 12 Vdc coil version under the G23WF-12Vdc relay name. This difference should be visible in the request because coil voltage affects control wiring, spare-parts planning and comparison against an existing part label.

The screw high-voltage connection is another important field. Buyers comparing G23WF with solder-pot, flying-lead or bus-wire relay references should keep the connection style separate from the contact rating. A request that only says 20kV DPDT relay may still need follow-up questions before quotation if the mounting and termination details are missing.

Where G23WF fits in high-voltage relay sourcing

G23WF can be relevant where a project needs a 20kV DPDT relay for control, test, isolation support or specialty high-voltage switching. It should not be grouped automatically with a high voltage DC contactor inquiry for main load switching. Relays, contactors, fuses and battery disconnect switches can appear on the same purchasing list, but each product group needs its own review fields.

For buyers comparing G23WF with other relay references, the review should keep contact form, voltage rating, current rating, dielectric, mounting, connection style, coil voltage and timing fields visible. Sorint can help organize these inputs for an RFQ, but a candidate alternate should not be treated as approved until the buyer's engineering team confirms it against the application.

Information to include in a G23WF relay inquiry

A clearer G23WF inquiry should include the complete model reference, quantity, destination country, target delivery date and project context. If the request is for maintenance stock, include the existing relay label or purchasing record. If it is for a new design, include the expected voltage class, current requirement, contact arrangement, coil voltage preference and connection constraints.

Buyers can also state whether the relay is being reviewed alone or alongside DC contactors, high-voltage fuses or battery disconnect switches. Separating the line items by product family helps Sorint return focused quotation questions and avoid mixing relay parameters with contactor or protection-device requirements.

FAQ

What verified rating does Sorint list for the G23WF relay?

Sorint records list G23WF with 20kV DC or 60Hz switching voltage and 75A DC or 60Hz current rating.

What contact form is listed for G23WF?

G23WF is listed with a DPDT contact arrangement, so buyers should keep it separate from SPST-NO, SPST-NC or SPDT relay requests.

Which coil versions should be identified in the RFQ?

Include whether the request is for the 26.5 Vdc G23WF relay or the 12 Vdc G23WF-12Vdc relay, along with quantity, delivery destination and application context.
