Brazed Electrical Contacts

Brazing silver to a machined copper part creates a brazed electrical contact. Our expert technicians ensure that your parts are machined to close tolerances and meticulously cleaned to ensure a long-lasting, optimally conductive contact. 

Whether you’re looking to design entirely new contacts or repair damaged ones, count on our experienced engineering and design team to offer you maximum conductivity at the most competitive price.
