1. What materials are commonly used in multi-purpose contacts?
These contacts are typically made from materials like brass, phosphor bronze, or beryllium copper, often with surface plating such as gold, silver, or tin for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance.
-
2. How do I choose the right multi-purpose contact for my application?
Key factors to consider include current-carrying capacity, contact material, size, mating cycle durability, and environmental conditions like temperature and humidity.
-
3. What is the typical current rating for multi-purpose contacts?
The current rating can vary depending on the design and material but typically ranges from a few amps to over 100 amps for heavy-duty applications.
-
4. What are the common plating options for multi-purpose contacts, and why are they important?
Common plating options include gold (for low resistance and corrosion protection), tin (for cost efficiency), and silver (for high conductivity). The choice depends on the application’s performance and cost requirements.
