TODAY’S EXPERT

High Voltage Relays

GIGAVAC® is Today's Expert in High Voltage Relays.

We call ourselves "Today's Expert" because most of us have been involved in engineering, manufacturing and selling high voltage relays for most of our professional careers. We formed GIGAVAC because all the other high voltage relay suppliers were acquired by larger companies who don't seem to understand or care about the needs of high voltage relay customers. At GIGAVAC, we know you need to talk to an expert today so you can have a high voltage switching solution tomorrow, quickly, easily and at a reasonable cost.

WHO ARE WE?

You will find it easy to deal with us at GIGAVAC because we specialize entirely in high voltage relays and know exactly what you need. We have done it for years! Many of owner experts come from a great little company formerly known as Kilovac*. Included are Doug Campbell, former President & CEO and son of the founder, Mike Molyneux, former head of R&D, Pat McPherson, former VP Sales & Marketing, Jim Lanum, former Product Manager, Rick Danchuk, former Chief Financial Officer, an experienced sales world-wide force who have sold high voltage relays, and a cadre of manufacturing engineers and support personnel who have designed and manufactured Jennings, Kilovac and Hewlett Packard products for years.

WHERE ARE WE?

GIGAVAC's headquarters are in Carpinteria, California, just south of Santa Barbara. This is where our support team with over 60 years of high voltage relay experience is ready to help with your high voltage relay application. At our headquarters, we do the following:

  1. Determine which relays are needed today and in the future
  2. Make decisions where best to build them so you get the best quality at the lowest price
  3. Provide price and delivery information with one phone call so you will not have to make multiple contacts to obtain simple information
  4. Ship products from our extensive inventory of stocked relays the same day the order is received

We can even give advance replacements if needed for customer returns, so you can still meet your production schedule no matter what the problem may be.
