G13 Relay Selection Notes for 15kV DPDT High-Voltage Circuits

The G13 relay family is a practical reference point for buyers who need a compact high-voltage relay for 15kV DPDT switching requirements. Sorint product data lists the G13 relay as a Gigavac (Sensata Technologies) high-voltage relay with double-pole double-throw contact arrangement, inert gas dielectric and a 10A current rating for DC or 60Hz applications.

For purchasing teams, the main task is not only finding a matching model name. The request should also confirm contact form, coil voltage, mounting method, high-voltage connection and the expected quantity. These details help separate a direct replacement request from a broader comparison across high-voltage relay, DC contactor and control-panel sourcing options.

Start with the 15kV DPDT requirement

The G13 relay data identifies a 15kV voltage rating for DC or 60Hz use and a DPDT contact arrangement. That makes the model family relevant when a buyer needs two-pole changeover behavior in a high-voltage control circuit. The listed contact material is molybdenum/tungsten, and the dielectric is inert gas.

When sending an RFQ, buyers should state whether the need is for a G13 relay reference in general or for a specific coil-voltage variant. A clear note such as "15kV DPDT, panel mount, flying leads, required quantity and target date" gives the sourcing team enough context to review the request without assuming the missing electrical or mechanical details.

Confirm coil voltage before comparing variants

Sorint product data includes G13 relay entries with non-latching coil type and coil voltage references including 26.5Vdc, 12Vdc and 115Vdc variants. Because those variants can look similar at the family level, coil voltage should be confirmed early in the purchasing message.

The data also lists turret terminal coil termination, 15 ms operate time and 9 ms release time for the reviewed G13 entries. These values are useful for comparison notes, but buyers should still treat the exact model number and current application requirement as the controlling RFQ details.

Mounting and connection details reduce quote ambiguity

The G13 relay entries are listed with panel mount and flying-lead high-voltage connection. Including those details in the first inquiry helps avoid a quotation that only matches the electrical rating while leaving the installation format unclear.

For replacement sourcing, a buyer can share the existing label, target model, coil voltage and quantity. For new project sourcing, the inquiry should also explain whether the relay is being compared with other high-voltage relays, battery disconnect switches or DC contactors in the same system. That context helps Sorint review related product options with the buyer.

Use verified parameters for distributor comparison

A useful G13 relay comparison sheet should include the verified fields that procurement teams can check: 15kV voltage rating, 10A current rating, DPDT contact form, non-latching coil type, panel mounting, flying-lead high-voltage connection, mechanical cycle reference and operating temperature range. The local product data also lists vibration, shock and Reach and RoHS compliance fields for the reviewed entries.

Buyers comparing distributors should avoid relying on only the series name. A complete line item with coil voltage, quantity, target delivery schedule and acceptable alternatives gives Sorint a clearer basis for quotation review. For nearby product families, buyers can also review G13 relay details and the broader power relays category before submitting the RFQ.

FAQ

What is the core G13 relay rating listed by Sorint?

Sorint product data lists the G13 relay family as a 15kV DPDT high-voltage relay with a 10A current rating for DC or 60Hz applications.

Which G13 details should be confirmed before ordering?

Confirm the exact model, coil voltage, contact form, mounting method, high-voltage connection, quantity and target delivery schedule.

Can G13 relay sourcing be reviewed with related high-voltage parts?

Yes. Buyers can include related relay, DC contactor, battery disconnect switch or fuse requirements when those parts belong to the same power-control project.
