Electric Double Metal Contact Rivet

Electric Double Metal Contact Rivet

Our products Electric Double Metal Contact Rivet Features:

1-Trimetal Contacts can save costs 30%-65% than Solid Silver Contacts;

2-Very reliable mechanical strength for both sides composite materials,like Solid Contacts;

3-The silver layers on the head and foot are accurately distributed to ensure the contacts gap after riveted with stamped terminal;

4-Surface anti-oxidation protective film, can resist oxidation for a long time;

5-High dimensional accuracy ±0.01-0.02mm;

6-Strong corrosion resistance;

7-Good electrical conductivity.

In order to overcome the shortcomings in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide Tri Metal Contacts and a manufacturing device for the triple composite contact. The triple composite contact has a simple structure, good strength, hardness, welding resistance and arc burn resistance. The device for manufacturing the Trimetal Rivet Contacts can directly cut the raw material and can be directly cold-headed, which is convenient to use and low in cost. High efficiency, effectively ensuring the strength and hardness of the contacts, and a wide range of applications.

Ag/Cu/Ag Tri-metal Contact Rivets are manufactured either by bonding of multiple wire segments or by cutting and forming from a suitable tri-metal strip. When using the latter method it is also possible to use different Tri-metal Rivet Contacts materials for the contact layers if different load conditions have to be controlled.Trimetal Contact Rivets are more advanced compared to Bi-Metal Contacts. To reduce the production cost and to fight against the threat for increasing silver prices, Electrical Trimetal Rivet Contacts are solving the purpose. We have the capability to manufacture Trimetal Contact Rivets with silver alloy layer of any composition bonded with ETP Copper on both sides.

What conditions may cause the failure of Electrical Silver Contacts?

1. Silver contacts are vulcanized. Since silver is easily chemically reacted to sulfur, sulfides are produced. Assuming there are rubber bands, sulphur-containing wrinkled paper, sulphur tape, rubber pads, rubber tires, sulphur gas, etc., this may cause the silver contacts to turn black. As the ambient temperature increases, the vulcanization rate can be increased.

2. Silver Contact Rivets are polluted by dust. Air dust will adhere to the outside of the silver contacts.

3. Acid corrosion of silver contacts. The Silver Contact Point treated with nitric acid leaching and electroplating techniques turn away from the outer surface of the silver alloy, and the metal is exposed to the air to form metal oxides. Part of the battery phenomenon: also called a micro battery. Many fine short-circuit galvanic cells consist of thin metal films and are covered with electrolyte solutions.

4. During the use of Cold Headed Electrical Contacts, some metals are more active and prone to electrochemical corrosion. If carbon dioxide and water vapor in the air are absorbed by the surface and become an electrolyte solution, it will cause mechanical corrosion. It will affect the normal use of the equipment, so be careful.

5. Other pollution. For example, automobile exhaust, dust, sweat, oil stains, etc., if exposed to carbon dioxide at high temperatures during the use of electrical switches, the Silver Electrical Contact may fail.
