Knuckle contacts are ideal for applications requiring the contact to traverse segmented tracks or wire-wound potentiometers and switches. Precision Deringer-Ney designed and built high-speed stamping dies provide accurate knuckle-style contacts for the life of the program. Deringer-Ney's bimetallic material may be used to reduce the cost of your contacts.

Rake contacts are preferred in applications when precise stable resistance values are required over the life of the system. The rake contact has proven to be especially suited to critical automotive sensor applications. Deringer-Ney's tight tolerance tooling and tip conditioning processes provide the exact tip topography required. In many applications Deringer-Ney's bimetallic material may be used to reduce the cost of your contacts.

Welded Button contacts provide a cost-effective method of producing a larger wear mass for extended life applications. Precision formed Paliney®6 buttons are welded to high strength C72900 copper alloy cantilever arms. The noble metal button is precisely located in the required contact positions while utilizing the less costly base metal for the arms.

Four-Slide contacts formed from wire or flat stock with multi-axis bends are manufactured using the Four-Slide process. Deringer-Ney designs and develops its own custom Four-Slide tools for high-volume, low-cost production.
