Tri-metal Silver Rivet Contacts

Tri-metal Silver Rivet Contacts

Tri-metal Silver Rivet Contacts are high-end composite electrical contact elements. Their structure consists of a silver alloy head layer, a copper conductor layer in the middle, and a silver alloy foot layer, all integrated into a stable, one-piece structure through a high-precision composite manufacturing process. This product is primarily used in relay and switching systems requiring bidirectional switching, left-right operation, or conversion functions, and is particularly suitable for industrial control relays, power relays, and automated electrical equipment. Compared to traditional integral silver contacts, the tri-metal composite structure maintains excellent conductivity and arc resistance while significantly reducing the amount of precious metals used, making it an advanced contact solution that balances performance and cost control.

Products Description

 

Tri-metal Silver Rivet Contacts

The core value of Tri-metal Silver Rivet Contacts lies in their structural innovation. The product employs a double-silver-layer design, ensuring a stable silver contact surface regardless of changes in contact direction during dynamic switching, thus meeting the requirements of left-right operation in changeover relays.

Standard structural components:
Top silver alloy layer: Used for the main contact surface, handling current switching, resisting arc erosion, and providing low contact resistance.

Middle copper layer: Possesses excellent conductivity and thermal conductivity, used to reduce overall resistance and improve heat dissipation efficiency.

 

Application Advantages: Reshaping the Lifecycle Value of Industrial Relays

 

Perfect Fit for Changeover Relays In industrial automation control, many relays need to switch rapidly between normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts. This "left-right movement" places extremely high demands on the mechanical strength of the moving contacts. Triple-composite contacts, due to their unique core support structure, exhibit higher resistance to bending fatigue when subjected to lateral impact forces.
Improved Relay Electrical Life Due to the excellent heat dissipation capabilities of the copper core, the arc energy on the contact surface is dissipated more quickly. Experiments show that under the same load, the electrical wear rate of triple-composite contacts is lower than that of solid silver contacts of the same specifications. This means that your relay products can maintain stable contact resistance over a longer period.
Deep Coverage of Application Areas

Industrial Control Relays: PLC output modules, intermediate relays.

Smart Home and Appliances: Variable frequency air conditioner contactors, smart meter relays.

New Energy Charging Piles: Main control relays in AC charging guns.

 

Tri-metal Silver Rivet Contacts and Their Applications

Material Advantages: Maximizing Synergistic Effects
 
 

Head/Feet (Working Area)

AgSnO2 (strong anti-adhesion) or AgNi (wear-resistant, stable Trimetal Composite Rivet Terminals) are selected based on the application load, providing reliable arc-extinguishing support for bidirectional operation.

 
 
 

Core (Energy Area)

High-quality T2 copper provides excellent heat capacity, rapidly absorbing and dissipating the high temperatures generated by the arc, protecting the relay's plastic base from carbonization.

 
 
 

Overall Structure

Excellent riveting flexibility ensures that riveted joints do not crack or loosen on the client's automated assembly line for Tri - Metal Button Silver Electric Contacts.
