Solid Electrical Contact Rivets

The Solid Electrical Contact Rivets are the oldest utilized contact parts. Their manufacturing requires a ductile contact material and is done without scrap on fully automated special cold heading machines. A wire slug is cut off and the rivet head is formed by pressing and hammering. The electrical contact rivets control the power directly or indirectly, switching electrical power through is layer the supply of natural gas or fuel oil through an electrically operated valve. In ideal conditions, the resistance between mating contacts would be close to zero when closed and infinite when they are open. Solid Electrical Contact Rivets are very useful.
