Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve workability and weldability by providing a projection formed with a brazing material on a welding surface. CONSTITUTION:A projection 1e formed with a brazing material 1c is provided on the welding surface 1b of a weld contact 1 applied to a conductive plate for use. Namely, even in the use of a material having low electrical resistance and high thermal conductivity for the conductive plate to ensure the long life of the contact, the projection 1e having an extremely lower fusion point than the welding surface 1b is provided. According to the aforesaid construction, the brazing material 1c is fused due to Joule heat generated at the projection 1e and forms a thin layer between the welding surface 1b and the conductive plate P for brazed connection. Consequently, good workability is obtained and weldability is improved.

The welding contact 10 has a contact portion 10a formed in a hoop shape with a substantially semicircular cross section and then cut to an appropriate length. In general, the upper layer, which serves as the contact surface, is made of silver or a silver alloy such as silver-nickel, and the lower layer is made of a copper alloy such as copper-nickel. The lower surface of the lower layer is a welding surface 10b to the conductive plate P made of phosphor bronze or the like, and a protruding portion 10c of a protruding strip having a substantially semicircular cross section is provided in the center along the longitudinal direction.

This welding contact 10 is welded to the conductive plate P in the following manner. The welding contact 10 is made so that the welding surface 10b is approximately parallel to the conductive plate P, and the protrusion 10c is in contact with the conductive plate P, while applying pressure from both the upper surface of the contact portion 10a and the lower surface of the conductive plate P. When a current is passed, the protrusion 10c
Since the contact area with the conductive plate P is small, that is, the electrical resistance is large, the protrusion 10c and the part of the conductive plate P that it comes into contact with melt due to Joule heat, and the welding contact 10
is welded to the conductive plate P.

一方、他の溶接接点の従来例として第4図のものも存在

On the other hand, there is also the one shown in FIG. 4 as another conventional example of a welded contact.

The welding contact 20 has the same shape and composition as the welding contact 10, except that the contact portion 20a does not have a protruding portion on the welding surface 20b as in the previous example.

Therefore, when this welding contact 20 is welded to the conductive plate P, a brazing material 20c having a shape substantially the same as the welding surface 20b is interposed between the welding surface 20b and the conductive plate P. This brazing filler metal 20c has a much lower melting point than the copper alloy such as copper nickel that forms the welding surface 20b, that is, the lower layer, and is made of about half the material. When current is applied while applying pressure from both directions, the brazing material 20c is melted by Joule heat, and the welding contact 20 is welded to the conductive plate P by brazing.

Among the conventional welded contacts mentioned above, welded contact 1 shown in Fig. 3
0 is most commonly used. However, when switching relatively large currents, materials with low electrical resistance and high thermal conductivity, such as beryllium copper, are increasingly used as the material for the conductive plate P in order to extend the life of the contacts. It is coming.

In such a case, the electrical resistance of the welding contact 10 in contact with the conductive plate P becomes smaller, and the Joule heat generated therein is also reduced. Moreover, since the conductive plate P has high thermal conductivity, its Joule heat is easily diffused, and the Joule heat contributing to welding is further reduced. Therefore, welding contact 10
The protruding portion 10c and a portion of the conductive plate P that it contacts become difficult to melt, and as a result, a problem may arise in that welding cannot be performed.

従来例つまり第4図に示す溶接接点20である。
The other conventional example, that is, a welded contact 20 shown in FIG. 4 is used as one of the countermeasures against this problem.

In this case, since the welding contact 20 has no protruding part and the conductive plate P is made of a material with low electrical resistance and high thermal conductivity, there is little Joule heat contributing to welding, but the welding surface of the welding contact 20 Since the brazing filler metal 20c, which has a much lower melting point than those of them, is interposed between the conductive plate 20b and the conductive plate P, the brazing filler metal 20c melts and welding by brazing is possible. However, it is necessary to position the brazing filler metal 20c at a predetermined welding position on the conductive plate P together with the welding contact 20, which becomes difficult especially when the contact becomes small, and as a result, the welding strength decreases. problems may occur. Further, since the brazing filler metal 20c is required to have a certain thickness as a single member, it may protrude from the welding surface 20b to the outside after welding, and the height of the contact portion 20a may be difficult to maintain.
