This datasheet details the Carlo Gavazzi RGC series of slimline solid state contactors, covering specifications, order codes, and applications for…
The Carlo Gavazzi RGC series represents an evolution of solid state switches, designed as a ready-to-use solution with an integrated heatsink to save panel space. These contactors feature wire bonding technology to reduce thermal and mechanical stresses, resulting in a larger number of operational cycles compared to other assembly technologies. The range accommodates UL508A requirements and carries a 100 kArms Short Circuit Current Rating.
| Rated voltage | Up to 660 VAC |
|---|---|
| Short circuit current rating | 100 kArms |
| Protection coordination | Up to 18000 A²s |
| Minimum width | 17.5 mm |
| Control voltage (DC) | 3-32 VDC |
| Control voltage (AC) | 20-275 VAC |
The RGC offers panel space savings, less maintenance costs due to wire bonding technology, low machine downtime with integrated overvoltage protection, and ease of use with an integrated heatsink.
Suitable applications include plastic injection machines, extrusion machines, blow moulding machines, thermoformers, dryers, electrical ovens, fryers, shrink tunnels, and air handling units.
No, the RGC is a ready-to-use solution provided with an integrated heatsink, eliminating the need for the user to calculate the size of heatsink needed.
