Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0940830A2] The contact piece has a base section which has several concentric grooves in the region of the surface of the contact piece, which are axially open to the contact piece surface or a counter contact. The base section is made of a good electrical conductor such as copper, while the surface of the contact piece is made of a less good conductor such as chrome and a chrome copper alloy. The less good conductor is situated in the grooves so that rings of good and less good conductors are arranged on the surface. A method of manufacturing a contact piece is also claimed.
