Professional Applications and Troubleshooting of Electrical Contact Rivets for Sockets

Contact switches are switches used to open and close circuits, interrupt current, or divert current to other circuits. In the silver industry, they are generally classified as pure silver, silver-nickel alloy, silver-tin oxide, and silver-cadmium oxide. Silver-cadmium oxide and silver-nickel alloys are widely used in the switch industry, but many people have a limited understanding of their formulations and manufacturing processes. For example, is the silver-nickel ratio 10:12:15 or 20:20? Is it silver-cadmium oxide or pure silver-cadmium?

 

Some industry players, in order to reduce costs, or some manufacturers, use special processes to cut costs, which may affect the quality of Silver Alloy Contacts products. Taking silver-cadmium oxide as an example, its composition ratio can be verified through third-party metal composition analysis, but the production process is difficult to control throughout, and there may even be cases where the oxidation standard is not met. This necessitates mastering scientific selection methods.

Electrical Contact Rivets for Socket

Common faults in Silver Electrical Contact rivets include overheating and soldering issues. Overheating is mainly caused by insufficient contact pressure, surface oxidation or uncleanliness, and insufficient capacity. Welding is mainly caused by a large arc and severe vibration during closure.

 

Inspect the contact surfaces for oxidation and stains. Pure Ag Silver Contact Rivets with stains can be cleaned with gasoline.

 

The oxide film on Electrical Silver Contact Points not only has good conductivity but can also be reduced to metallic silver during use; no repair is needed.

 

If there is an oxide film on Solid Copper Contacts, it can be smoothed with a smooth file or gently scraped off with a knife.

 

Inspect the contact surfaces for singeing. Singeing on copper can be smoothed with a smooth file or knife. The surface to be repaired does not need to be too smooth, and sandpaper should not be used for repair, as residual sand may become embedded and cause poor contact during closure. However, Agni Electrical Contacts for Contactors do not require rework due to singeing.

Check if Solid Silver Contacts are loose; if so, tighten them to prevent vibration. Check for mechanical damage, as mechanical damage may cause spring deformation, leading to insufficient contact pressure. If so, the pressure should be adjusted to ensure good contact.
