Clad strips
Silver-based contact strips serve as semi-finished contact materials, enabling precise downstream processing, high switching performance, and reliable series production for electrical engineering applications in demanding industrial environments.
Available Forms
- Continuous strips supplied on spools or as cut-to-length material
- Bimetal and multilayer strips with a defined contact zone
- Designed for stamping, welding, soldering, or profiling processes
Materials
- Silver-based contact materials (e.g. Ag, AgNi, AgCu, AgSnO₂)
- Carrier materials made of copper and copper alloys
- Material combinations tailored to switching load and application
