Potentiometric and Low Current Contacts

Materials and components for sliding electrical contacts and slip ring brushes typically must exhibit a combination of low contact resistance, excellent corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength and long life.  We provide solutions to these requirements through the use of a family of Deringer-Ney alloys that we invented to meet these demanding requirements. Our family of Paliney and Neyoro Electrical Contact Alloys were developed to meet these needs.  For general contact theory and technical information, our Electrical Contact Design Manual is a great resource.
