Publication time:2024-11-01    Source of the article:

Rocker switches are widely used in household appliances, automotive electronics, and industrial equipment. Due to their high-frequency operation characteristics, they are prone to generating arcs during opening or closing. These arcs not only accelerate the wear of switch contacts but also pose safety risks. Yongxing Electronics is committed to enhancing the safety and durability of rocker switches through optimized selection of contact materials. This article introduces the stringent standards Yongxing Electronics upholds in selecting contact materials for rocker switches.

 

Contact Material Selection for Yongxing Electronics Rocker Switches

 

  1. Material Selection Requirements

The contact materials used in Yongxing Electronics' rocker switches are required to have high conductivity, low resistance, excellent wear resistance, as well as anti-oxidation and high-temperature endurance to withstand the stress of frequent operation.

 

2. Material Choices at Yongxing Electronics

 

• Silver-based Alloys: Yongxing Electronics primarily selects silver oxide alloys as the main materials for rocker switch contacts. These materials provide high conductivity and low contact resistance, suitable for low-voltage environments, thereby reducing arc damage to the contacts.

 

• Composite Material Development: Yongxing Electronics has also developed silver-tungsten composite alloys to enhance durability in high-current and high-frequency environments. The arc resistance and wear resistance of silver-tungsten alloys form the core technology in Yongxing Electronics' high-end rocker switch series.

 

3. Technical Support for Material Optimization

 

Yongxing Electronics implements strict controls in material selection, conducting repeated arc resistance tests to ensure compliance with high industry standards. By simulating high-frequency operating conditions, Yongxing Electronics rigorously verifies the durability of these materials, ensuring the long-term stability and reliability of rocker switches.

 

Through meticulous material screening and continuous optimization, Yongxing Electronics has successfully improved the stability and arc resistance of rocker switches. The next article will delve into the application of arc suppression technology, unveiling Yongxing Electronics' innovative measures to elevate switch quality.
