Checon provides an extensive selection of high-performance electrical contact materials and precious metal alloys for various power control and switch applications. Available in multiple forms, including wire, strip, discrete tip, and tape, our materials deliver exceptional conductivity, minimal contact resistance, and superior arc suppression for extended contact life. Each is custom-manufactured to meet specific performance, quality, and packaging standards, ensuring our customers receive what they need to complete their projects successfully.
Checon offers a comprehensive selection of both silver-based alloys and non-silver materials, including fine silver and silver nickel used in light-switching applications, metal oxide materials favored for mid-power switching, refractory materials utilizing tungsten, and other ultra-high-temperature metal formulations.
Some of the most demanding applications, such as industrial circuit protection, automatic transfer switching, and grid power distribution switching, require the strength and heat resistance only found in refractory contact materials such as silver tungsten, silver tungsten carbide, and silver graphite. These products can be sold in discrete tip forms but are also offered in subassemblies utilizing Checon’s proprietary discrete attachment processes, including our RapidOne furnace, inductance, and resistance-brazed processes.
