ABSTRACT:
An arcing contact for a high current capacity switch having a pair of switch members in sliding face-to-face engagement is formed from a set of resilient laminations that shunt the switch members as the switch makes on closing or breaks on opening. One end of the set of laminations is mounted on a face of one of the switch members, usually a blade, and the other end of the set of laminations is angled so that the end surfaces or tips bear against a face of the other switch member, usually a termination, when the arcing contact shunts the switch members. While in this position, a deflection of the laminations develops a spring force that urges the tips of the laminations into contact with the termination. The tips are inwardly bevelled with respect to the face of the termination and lie in a common plane so that during electrical connection they are in a substantially parallel relationship with the face of the termination, at substantially the same pressure. In a preferred form, the arcing contact has two or more sets of laminations that overlie one another in a spaced apart relationship. The free end of each of the sets is divided into a plurality of longitudinally extending fingers to facilitate each tip of each finger in establishing a good electrical connection with the termination. The tips preferably make electrical contact with the termination through a replaceable arcing contact strip mounted on the termination. The leading tip portion is preferably of a highly durable material and is secured to the ends of the laminations by a silver solder process. The laminations are clamped and the solder and flux are applied. The tip is urged against the solder and laminations as the tip is rapidly heated to fuse the solder.
