Contact tips
ISO 9001
RoHS
REACH
Silver-based contact tips ensure low contact resistance, long switching life, and reliable current transmission in switches, relays, and industrial electrical series applications.
Available Designs
- Contact tips in the form of discs, shaped parts, or profiled contact pieces
- Designed for soldering, welding, or riveting onto base materials
- Supplied as individual parts, strip material, or custom geometries
Materials
- Silver and silver alloys (e.g. Ag, AgNi, AgCu)
- Silver metal oxide materials (e.g. AgSnO₂, AgZnO, AgCdO*)
- Silver-graphite and silver-refractory materials for higher switching loads
