AG/SNO2
SILVER-TIN OXIDE
Properties
- Best anti-welding properties of all silver metal oxide variants up to currents of 5000 A (increasing with higher oxide content)
- Lowest erosion rate of all silver metal oxide materials for currents over 100 A
- Significantly lower material migration compared to Ag/CdO and Ag/ZnO
- Low contact resistance comparable to other silver metal oxides
- Special additives keep the contact resistance constant over the entire service life.
- Excellent arc-extinguishing properties
- RoHS and ELV-compliant
- Delivery forms: Wires, profiles and contact pins
Our silver-tin oxide wires, profiles, and contact tips are produced by mixing silver and tin oxide powder – with (SPW/PMT) or without (SP) additives – compacting, sintering, extruding, and drawing or rolling to the desired dimensions. Profiles and tips are provided with a silver backing layer and can optionally be supplied with an additional brazing layer. The standard compositions of metal oxides are 8, 10, 12, and 14. We enhance the switching behavior of various materials through the use of additives.
