Types of Contacts

Contact Tape

Some years ago, Deringer expanded its capabilities by adding a line of electrical contact tapes and tape assemblies. These tapes are normally composites of a backing base metal and a capping contact material.

Capping materials are usually gold, silver, palladium, platinum or alloys of these precious metals, as well as alloys of noble metals. A wide variety of backing materials includes nickel, nickel silver, monel, low-carbon steel and other base metals to meet your requirements.

Contact tapes come in a range of weld projections, including single and multiple rail, cross-hatch and diamond projections.

Tapes may be purchased in coil form on reels for customer assembly on their own welding equipment or in lengths cut to customer specification for tweezer (resistance) welding.
