For many relay, switch, contactor, and breaker designs, three-component riveted contacts provide a practical balance of silver alloy performance, mechanical assembly efficiency, and material cost control.
Choose by Application
Different switching devices need different contact structures and materials. Use the table as a starting point before confirming the final specification.
| Application | Common product direction | Material direction |
|---|---|---|
| Relays | Riveted contacts or custom electrical contacts | AgNi, AgSnO2, AgC, or application-specific silver alloy |
| Switches | Electrical contacts and contact components | AgNi, Ag, AgC, or customized material based on load |
| Contactors | Heavy-duty electrical contacts and assemblies | AgSnO2, AgW, AgZnO, CuW, or related material systems |
| Circuit breakers | Contact components for protection devices | AgW, CuW, AgZnO, or high-resistance contact materials |
| EV, DC, solar, and high-inrush loads | Custom-designed contacts after application review | AgSnO2, AgW, CuW, or materials selected for arc and welding resistance |
