what we offer


High Volume Electrical Contacts for Low Current, Light Duty Applications
‍
‍Checon specializes in producing high-volume electrical contacts using precious metal materials such as fine silver and silver nickel. These materials are ideal for low current devices used in:

   Wiring Devices
   Appliance Switches
   Residential and Light Industrial Switches
   Residential Circuit Protection Devices

‍We employ advanced joining techniques to bond fine silver or nickel alloys to cold-rolled stainless steel, brass, or spring-tempered copper alloys and offer a range of options for secure terminal, wire harness and automated connections.

High Performance Contact Assemblies

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.

Refractory Electrical Contacts

Checon offers precision-engineered refractory contacts typically produced with silver tungsten, copper tungsten, silver tungsten, and silver graphite for applications demanding maximum arc resistance- such as high-voltage switching and industrial transfer switches. Our discrete refractory tips are fabricated with copper substrates into high-performance copper assemblies using Checon's automated RapidOne Brazing System, ensuring efficient bonding and exceptional durability. The result is a cost-effective, long-lasting contact solution designed to perform reliably in the most demanding electrical applications.
