Brazing

A large range of electrical contacts based on the alloys of silver and subjected to severe electrical, thermal and mechanical forces require perfect bond quality obtained by metal diffusion between tip and support during the brazing operation.

Low voltage switchgear

  • Contactors
  • Industrial circuit breakers
  • Mains switches

End use

  • Machinery
  • Line protection
  • Installation protection
  • Automotive industry
  • Railways
  • Fork lift trucks

Contact forms

Metalor offers flexibility in production methods. This flexibility allows us to assemble most contact types on a wide range of supports. As far as brazing is concerned we can offer brazed parts comprising several components assembled simultaneously ,e.g. support, tips and arc runners.
