Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0058981A1] The invention relates to a switching contact (10) for electrical switching devices which has a contact element (12) that is connected to or can be connected to a contact support (11). The aim of the invention is to connect particularly large contact elements (12) to the contact support (11) with a sufficiently high connection quality, in particular by using an economical resistance welding process. To this end, the invention provides that the contact element (12) is formed from a plurality of contact element segments (13) and that the individual contact element segments (13) are assembled together to make up the contact element (12). Contact element segments (13) with the same or different material compositions and/or geometrical shapes can be used to produce different switching properties.
