Contact rivets are widely used contact parts in low-voltage switching devices. This reference article covers design and geometry, common silver-based materials, manufacturing and setting processes, typical applications, and practical selection criteria for engineering and purchasing.

Manufacturing of electrical contacts: materials, forming and joining processes, series stability, quality assurance, and typical failure modes.

The right choice of contact materials determines conductivity, contact lifetime, and switching performance. Learn more about materials and alloys.
