Contact Materials
The main objective of a contact material system is to combine the
advantages of a number of materials into one system that provides
improved characteristics over a single metal. Clad contact materials
can combine the conductivity of copper, the tensile strength of
steel and the contact resistance of silver into one cost effective
stamping. By putting the exact amount of precious contact material
on a heat sinking base such as copper and then combining this with
the support of steel, the designer can increase the potential of
each metal. These techniques can be used to produce contact materials
in several configurations including contact tapes with weld rails
for high speed automatic assembly, inlays for progressive die stamping
of contact arms and switch parts and full overlays for producing
contact buttons and heavy duty circuit breaker parts.
