Solid Weld Button Contacts
Generally formed by cold heading, Deringer solid weld contacts offer the metal strength of unbroken flow lines, eliminate any problems due to bonding, and are high speed, precision manufactured to close tolerances. Contact resistance is lower than that of the composite. In addition to these advantages, in certain sizes or depending on quantities, solid weld contacts are more economical than composites. Silver and silver alloys are the most widely used metals, although in certain applications other precious metals or their alloys are used. Solid weld contacts are made in sizes ranging from .062 to .500 head diameter. If your design varies substantially from the standard or typical sizes show in the size charts on solid weld contacts, please check with our engineers to be sure that the particular contact can be headed economically or if, possibly, a composite should be used.
