Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2216795A1] The contact has a metallic support (1) assembled in a precompressed contact chip (2). The contact chip includes a contact layer (8) with conducting agent made of silver whose weight percentage is between 92 to 99 percent of total mass, nickel whose weight percentage is between 0 to 3 percent and carbon whose weight percentage is between 0.5 to 5 percent. A reactive sub-layer (9) includes silver and copper based pseudo-alloy mixed with phosphorus based stripper agent, where fusion temperature of the sub-layer is lower than that of the contact layer. The contact layer includes a fraction of refractory particles such as tungsten carbide particles, tungsten particles and titanium nitride particles, an anti-soldering element such as nickel particles or graphite particles, or gas-producer elements such as carbon fibers. An independent claim is also included for a method for assembling a precompressed contact chip on a metallic support by direct sintering.
