The present invention relates to electrical contacts. Generally, electrical contacts are required to have excellent welding resistance and abrasion resistance, and to have low and stable contact resistance. In particular, with the miniaturization of electrical contact application devices, it has been desired to improve the performance of electrical contacts used. By the way, general-purpose relays and switches in electrical contact application equipment are widely used in the range of several tens of microamperes to several tens of amperes, so it is difficult to obtain electrical contacts that are satisfactory enough to completely cover the above range of use. I couldn't do it. The present invention has been made in view of this situation, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an electrical contact that can be used widely, covering the range from several tens of microamperes to several tens of amperes with one relay or switch. It is something to do. The electrical contact according to the present invention has a silver-palladium (preferably 30 w/o or more in terms of sulfidation resistance) alloy layer sputtered on the surface of silver, and has a thickness of 0.1 to 3 μm. In the electrical contact of the present invention, the surface layer is made of a silver-palladium alloy, which is chemically stable and can maintain low and stable contact resistance.
Further, the contact performance is sufficiently satisfactory when the load current is in the range of several tens of microamperes to several hundred milliamperes. In addition, the reason why the surface layer thickness of the silver-palladium alloy is set to 0.1 to 3 μm is that if it is less than 0.1 μm, it cannot withstand mechanical wear, and if it exceeds 3 μm, the silver-palladium alloy will abnormally deform during use. Even if this causes a short circuit or the surface becomes rough due to electrical consumption, the underlying silver does not appear, and the high resistivity of the silver-palladium alloy allows it to withstand loads of several amperes or more. This is because electric current tends to cause welding. Furthermore, the reason why the lower layer was made of silver is that when the load current exceeds several hundred milliamperes, the silver-palladium alloy is electrically consumed and the lower layer becomes a surface layer, but this silver has good electrical and thermal conductivity. Therefore, at a load current of several hundred milliamperes or more, the contact resistance is low and stable, the amount of wear is small, and the contact performance is sufficiently satisfactory. Next, in order to clarify the effects of the electrical contact according to the present invention, specific examples thereof and the electrical contact performance of a conventional example will be described. Example: On the surface of Ag with a width of 1.5 mm, a length of 2 mm, and a thickness of 0.5 mm,
Ag45w/o-Pd55w/o alloy layer, Ag50w/o
-Using a Pd50w/o alloy target electrode, three types with thicknesses of 0.3μm, 1μm, and 3μm were manufactured by sputtering, and these were assembled into the switch.
We conducted a switching test 5000 times under the conditions of AC100V and load currents of 0.02A and 5A, and obtained the results shown in the table below. Conventional example Ag45w/o-Pd55w/o alloy on the surface of Ag
When an electrical contact having the same dimensions as the example with a crat of 10 μm was tested under the same conditions as the example, the results shown in the table below were obtained.
