PRODUCT INFORMATION swiss world connects IP0003.00 3Power Contact 1. Description and general features 1.1 General description PRECI-DIP is proud to present a new type of contact suitable for high current capacity applications. The use of high-conductive Copper alloys for screw-machined contacts using the clip technology enable a reduction of the electrical resistance by approximately 40% with the same space requirement. Product features such as separate electroplating are all maintained. 1.2 Advantages Main advantage of this contact is its ability to carry high current with a low temperature rise. The maximum current can therefore be multiplied by 1.5. These high performances can be achieved using non-expensive material like brass but with excellent properties. Body and clip are plated separately and this provides a significant price advantage compared to other traditional contacts with an overall plating. 1.3 Applications This type of power contact can be used in many different applications such as Mil/Aero applications, power and energy supply applications and railway. Whenever a high current capacity is required, this contact can be used. 1.4 Optional versions Other sizes of contacts can easily be developed using high-conductivity materials. PRECI-DIP has the know-how, machines and resources to design new contacts bodies and clips for power applications. PRECI-DIP can also develop connectors using power contacts. 1 Preci-dip sa Rue Saint-Henri 11 CH-2800 Delémont/Switzerland Phone +41 32 421 0400 Fax +41 32 421 0401 E-mail [email protected] www.precidip.com 2.
