Silver Cadmium Oxide Contact

Silver Cadmium Oxide Contact refers to a contact composed entirely of a single material system, using high-purity electrolytic silver as the base material. Depending on the specific operating conditions, alloying elements can be precisely added and carefully formulated to create composite contact materials, thereby comprehensively meeting the stringent requirements for conductivity, arc resistance, and solderability under various electrical environments.

Products Description

 

Silver Cadmium Oxide Contact

 

Silver Cadmium Oxide Contact, meaning the entire contact is made of a single silver-based alloy material rather than a composite welded structure, is primarily used in high-end relays, industrial control relays, precision switches, and changeover moving contacts. Its core advantages lie in its extremely low contact resistance, excellent conductivity, stable arc control capability, and long-term operational reliability.

 

 

Precision Manufacturing Process

 

Precision Cold Forging Process

Utilizing high-precision one-time cold forging ensuring consistent solid Silver Contact geometry and significantly improving material density and internal bonding strength.

 

Subsequent Heat Treatment

Precisely controlled high-temperature diffusion treatment further enhances the metallurgical bonding of silver molecules at the contact interface, giving the Silver contacts higher mechanical strength and fatigue resistance.

 

Precision Dimensional Control

Alloy Silver contacts with nominal diameters from φ0.8mm to φ25mm and riveting lengths from 2mm to 150mm are available, with tolerances strictly controlled within ±0.02mm to ±0.01mm depending on the precision level.

Key Electrical Performance Indicators

 

 
 

Ultra-low Contact Resistance

Pure electrical contacts ≤10μΩ (1A load, DC voltage drop <10mV); AgSnO₂ and other alloy contacts ≤15μΩ (surface oxide film effect considered).

 
 
 

Excellent Arc Resistance

Under AC 250V rated voltage, the arc duration of materials such as AgNi10 is ≤5ms, and the single arc energy is ≤0.5J (tested according to GB/T 5583 standard for Alloy Silver contacts).

 
 
 

Reliable Environmental Resistance

In an environment with H₂S concentration of 10ppm, after 500 hours of testing, the increase in silver contact resistance is <30% (verified by ASTM B809 vulcanization test).
