Product Description


EGIS hermetically sealed solenoids provide reliable remote switching for high-current marine electrical systems where space is limited or manual control is impractical. Designed for 12V and 24V applications, these ignition-protected contactors safely control engine and auxiliary loads while eliminating the need for long cable runs to manual switches.
Rated for up to 500A continuous current, they feature sealed IP67/IP6K9K construction, stainless-steel hardware, and high-temperature materials for demanding marine environments. With high electrical endurance, low power consumption, and the ability to interrupt high fault currents, these solenoids deliver dependable remote power control.
Features:
-
Ignition-protected safe for installation in closed compartments with potential explosive gases
-
High Electrical Switching Endurance delivers 6,000 cycles at 250A / 450V and 100,000 cycles at 250A / 14V
-
High Interrupt Current Capability: Safely able to open in a locked starter situation (up to 1,500 A @ 14 VDC)
-
Bullet-proof Construction: Sealed device, high-temp materials for engine compartment applications.
-
Stainless self-locking hardware.
- 500 Continuous Current (Amps)
Benefits:
-
Reduce Installation Costs and Weight by eliminating large cable runs to manual switches through robust remote switching of high-amperage engine & auxiliary loads.
-
Ensure Flawless Operation for the Life of the Installation with a hermetically sealed contactor sealed against dust & moisture intrusion.
-
Get positive confirmation of the relay on/off state with optional auxiliary contacts that support remote status indication.
-
High Contact Voltage Rating easily supports 12 and 24 Vdc applications while also supporting higher voltage applications up to 48 V and well beyond.
