Silver Graphite Tips
Silver graphite (Ag-C) tips are prized for their outstanding resistance to contact welding, which makes them the standard choice for low-voltage miniature circuit breakers. The graphite phase delivers low contact resistance and excellent lubricity in sliding applications, while our extrusion route maximises density and consistency tip to tip.
