1. Characteristics and uses of silver contacts
Silver contact refers to the contact material is mainly made of silver, which is characterized by good electrical conductivity, small contact resistance, large contact area, and not easy oxidation of the contact surface. Silver contact is suitable for low current, low pressure environment, with short service life. Silver contacts are mainly used in low-voltage switchgear, such as household electrical switches, low-power lighting circuits, etc.
2. Features and uses of tungsten contacts
Tungsten contact refers to the contact material is mainly made of tungsten, with high melting point, high hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Tungsten contact is suitable for high current, high pressure environment, and longer service life. Therefore, they are mainly used for high-voltage switches, high-power electrical switches and other important occasions.
3. Difference
materially, the main difference between silver and tungsten contacts is the composition. Silver contacts are made of silver, while tungsten contacts are made of tungsten. From the perspective of application, silver contact is suitable for low voltage, low current, short time use occasions, such as low power switch. Tungsten contacts are suitable for high voltage, high current, long time use, such as high voltage switch.
4. Silver-tungsten alloy contact material
Silver tungsten alloy is composed of silver and tungsten, which are complementary in properties, making silver tungsten alloy have excellent electrical and mechanical properties. Silver tungsten alloy contact has the advantages of corrosion resistance, high hardness and good thermal stability, and can adapt to complex working conditions such as high temperature and high frequency. It is an important part of electrical components, often used in magnetron, repeaters, relays, relays, high frequency switches and other high-end electronic components.
When selecting contact materials, suitable contact materials should be selected according to the characteristics of the actual application environment to ensure the performance and safety of electrical equipment.
