contacts are manufactured using a specialized
hot pressure welding process. The adoption
of stringent quality control measures,
with the various critical parameters being
electronically controlled-ensures that
TRICON has uniform silver thickness and
perfect metallurgical bonding.
Areas
of application
TRICON contact rivets are used where double
action is required, e.g., in relays, regulators,
micro-switches, push buttons, installation
switches and contactors. They can be fitted
to any contact spring or tongue; also
to contact rockers, connecting or bridging
links.
Cost
effectiveness
very obviously the most effective reduction
in manufacturing costs is achieved by
reducing the amount of silver metal content.
For this reason the use of TRICON contact
rivets assumes more and more significance
especially in view of the fact that most
precious metal have been rising steadily
in costs over the years and are expected
to do so further.
Processing
TRICON contact rivets, manually or automatically
rivetted, can replace any double heading
solid contacts. During the rivetting process,
the opposite contact is formed when the
silver cladding at the end of the shank
is formed into a contact head.
