Checon offers high-performance electrical contacts made with advanced materials, including silver tin oxide and silver cadmium oxide, for demanding applications- such as motor starters, electric vehicle DC contactors, and industrial switches. These metal oxide contacts are brazed or welded onto copper or copper alloy substrates or bus bars that have been precision-stamped or CNC-machined.
Our silver-based contacts are integrated across various conductive systems. See how they're used in copper bus bar assemblies for OEM power distribution applications.
Checon's proprietary Toplay and RapidOne furnace and inductance-brazing processes ensure a superior bond interface, delivering reliable, cost-effective solutions for high-demand electrical contact applications.
