The GIGAVAC GXL14B1AB contactor is a 350 ampere single-pole single-throw (SPST) normally open (NO) high voltage high current relay capable of breaking current flows up to 800 volts.. 

Mechanically rated for over 1,000,000 cycles, this hermetically sealed contactor features built-in coil suppression and IP67 environmental rating.

The coil operates on 8-16vdc with a 4.3 amp close but a small 240 ma holding current.

UL 1604 listed for Classes I, II, and III.

This version is a LATCHING version that stays where you put it even after power is removed.  It can be configured for active low (low side) activation with two wires, one to set and one to reset, or active high (high side) with one wire to set and another to reset.

PTC HEATER for Electric Cars.

This is a PTC space heater for use in an electric car.  It operates nominally at 110v but we've run these as high as 200v in the past with great success and down to about 90v pack voltage.  It is also available in 220v and  360v versions.

Postive Temperature Coeffeicent heaters are very safe.  As temperature rises, so does resistance and so the current decreases.

 The birthplace of Silicon Valley.  David Packard's garage in 1941 is where two young men decided to follow their dreams and build a company based on electronics.  They lived that dream and indeed did build Hewlett-Packard into one of the most succesful large corporations in the world.

Along the way, they developed 11 principles or "rules" of the garage that would form their entire approach to life and business.

Recently the garage has been restored.  We've taken a photo of it and overlayed the 11 rules in a stunning 18 x 24 inch poster on plastic suitable for decorating YOUR garage and inspiring your journey to live your dream.

 HWZ6 1200 WATT DC-DC CONVERTER
This device takes an input voltage of nominally 168 vdc (144vdc to 204 vdc) and converts it to a 13.8 vdc output at up to 100 amperes.

AM1-AP-3A Inductive Proximity Sensor.

This is a three wire PNP inductive proximity sennsor with a two meter cable.  It can detect passage of ferrous materials (bolt head, screw, etc) on a rotating shaft to give you a tachometer reading.  This quite sensitive version can be 4mm away from the targer and still discern small metal pieces from the background.

This device is recommended by EVnetics for use with their Soliton line of controllers.  We tested it on the Elescalade and fell in love with it.  A small LED on the sensor actually lights with each pulse giving you an indication of operation.  We love it.

An Inertia Switch is an important safety device on any electric vehicle. In the event of a collision, internal combustion engines usually stop, either by strain stalling the engine or a breach in the fuel supply. Most cars are actually protected by an inertia switch that disables the fuel pump. In an electric car, this can be even more important. If the driver is incompacitated with weight on the accelerator and no load on the wheels the motor can spin uncontrollably until it reaches past maximum RPM and dissassembles itself explosively. The intertia switch is a simple device that in the event of a jar or collision moves a magnetic ball out of its place and so opens the switch. By connecting this between a contactor and its ground, the contactor will automatically open on any collision, disconnecting your high voltage battery pack. If it is a minor collision, you can simply press the red rubber stopper on top to reseat the ball and again enable your system.

Make your own Electric Vehicle Charge Station.  This connector with 25 foot of 40A cable is not to be confused with the little units from China.  Made by Leviton, this is heavy duty and the real thing.

This UL Rated, J1772 Level 2 Charge Connector will accommodate up to 40A, 208V - 240V AC systems, and has the ability to connect with any J1772TM compliant Electric Vehicle.

The handle is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the hands of any EV driver, yet robust enough to be rated at 10,000 cycles - the equivalent of 27 years of use! Features and Benefits: *Compatible with all Charging Station Standards and Recommended Practices, including SAE J1772

*Guaranteed 10,000 mating cycles - equivalent to 27 years of use! *

Drain holes prevent water from pooling inside of the connector housing, preventing against ice build-up and stagnant water accumulation.

*Ergonomically designed handle for a comfortable grip in any EV driver's hands

*Low contact resistance

*25 ft. long EV charging cable

*Cord Type EVJE - 3 X 10AWG & 2 X 16 AWG conductors  

 On several occasions, we've had to use an expensive J1772 inlet on our gas pump chargers etc simply to give us a place to "hang up" the J1772 power plug.  Now Joel Clemnets has tooled up to produce a low cost injection molded ABS plastic "holster" for the same purpose.

The J1772 holster has a carry on top for looping lengths of heavy cable, four holes for mounting screws, and lets you securely "connect" your J1772 power plug to keep it free of weather, dust, and insects.

Installs in minutes.  Forgive us for NOT writing a user manual for this one.

400 WATT ISOLATED 13.6V DC-DC Converter.

This is an EVTV modified Chennic DC-DC Converter.  Converts 144 DC pack voltages to 13.6 vdc to operate your lights, stereo, horn and other vehicle equipment.  This converter is rated at 35 amperes continuous output and we have tested them to 45 amperes for over an hour.   Output is 13.6v at 0 amps down to 12.0v at 35 amps.

This great little converter has gotten a bad reputation largely due to ripple on the battery packs from large controllers.  We think we've solved that by addiing both a high current diode and an inductor.  The diode prevents the internal capacitors from backflushing during accelerations, and the inductor prevents large ripple currents from harming those input capacitors.  A 15 amp fuse provides protection.

This is a new isolated Chennic 800 watt DC-DC converter with a very wide DC pack voltage input range.

The isolated DC-DC converter is a device to convert your EV battery pack high voltage down to the 13.6v necessary to run normal automotive headlights, wipers, stereo, etc.

This DC-DC Converter comes in five ranges:   

144V - Suitable for pack voltages from 100vdc to 162vdc
192V - Suitable for pack voltages from 150vdc to 220vdc  
288V - Suitable for pack voltages from 225vdc  to 328vdc
312V - Suitable for pack voltages from 243vdc to 356 vdc
350V - Suitable for pack voltages from 260vdc to 395vdc

Output is a regulated 13.6 vdc up to 60 amperes.
