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.
