SILVER-ZINC OXIDE

Properties

Our wires, profiles and contact facings made of silver-zinc oxide are produced from silver and zinc oxide powder with (SPW/PW25) and without (SP) additives. After mixing the powders, the material is compacted, sintered, extruded or rolled into the desired shape. Profiles and facings are provided with a silver backing layer and can optionally be supplied with an additional brazing layer. Our silver-zinc oxide contact materials are used in circuit breakers, general-purpose relays, residual current and motor circuit breakers.
