Switching contact for electrical switching devices

摘要

The switching contact is suitable for electrical switching devices. A contact element is connected to a contact support. In order to connect relatively large contact elements to the contact support with sufficient connection quality, in particular by means of cost-effective resistance welding or laser welding, the contact element is formed from a number of contact element segments and the individual contact element segments are assembled to make up the contact element. Different switching properties can be set by using contact element segments of the same or different material compositions and/or geometries.
