All of our contacts are designed and manufactured to your specifications.
Carbon contacts impregnated with various metals (silver or copper) are used in sliding or make-and-break applications, motor control circuits, relays, switches and grounding applications.

Silver-Graphite is an excellent material where high short circuit currents are involved. Copper-Graphite contacts are low-cost alternatives to the Silver-Graphite contacts. These metal graphite contacts have little or no welding tendency, are self-lubricating, exhibit low contact resistance and long life.
We can supply the contacts as a complete assembly, or as an individual item. Various means of attachment are available and can be performed either in our plant or your facility. Our Engineering Staff is available to give you guidance for the design of this item.
