Tri Metal Contact Rivets

Tri Metal Contact Rivets

Trimetal contacts are manufactured by cladding the head and the end of the copper rivet shank by silver metal. This brings in considerable reduction in the price of the rivets as compared to those made out of solid silver metal.

Areas of Application

Contact rivets are used where double action is required e.g. In relays, regulators, micro-switches, push buttons, installation switches and contactors. They can be fitted to any contact spring or tongue, also to contact rockers, connecting or bridging links

Cost effectiveness

The most effective reduction in manufacturing costs is achieved by reducing the amount of silver metal content. For this reason the use of Trimetal contact rivets assumes more and more significance especially in view of the fact that most precious metal have been rising steadily in costs over the years and are expected to do so further.
