Contact profiles
Silver-based contact profiles enable precise contact surfaces, reduce precious metal usage, and ensure reliable electrical connections in industrial series applications with long-term, high-quality performance.
Available Forms
- Profiles supplied as continuous material, cut lengths, or welded onto carrier strips
- Various profile geometries and layer thicknesses according to drawings
- Designed for soldering, welding, or further processing in stamping operations
Materials
- Silver-based contact materials (e.g. AgNi, AgSnO₂, AgZnO, AgCu)
- Multilayer and bimetal designs for reduced precious metal usage
- Material combinations tailored to switching load and application
