 ==Stamped Contact Parts==
 Stamped electrical contact parts typically consist of a base carrier material to which a contact material is attached by various methods (<xr id="fig:Plated and contact containing pre-stamped strips and stamped parts"/><!--(Fig. 3.17)-->).
 They serve as the important functional components in many switching and electromechanical devices for a broad range of electrical and electronic
 applications. On the one hand, they perform the mostly loss-free electrical current transfer and the closing and opening of electrical circuits, while on the other hand, the contact carriers are important mechanical design components, selected to meet the requirements on electrical, thermal, mechanical and magnetic properties.

 stamped parts are needed in the automotive technology for highly reliable switching and connector performance. In the information and data processing
 technology, they transfer signals and control impulses with high reliability and serve as the interface between electronic and electrical components.

-Besides the selection of the most suitable contact materials, the design and type of attachment is critical for the reliability and electrical life of contact components for electromechanical switching devices. The materials saving use of high cost precious metals and the most economic manufacturing method for contact parts are most important factors.

-There are two basic manufacturing solutions available: One can start with single contact parts such as contact rivets or tips which then are attached mechanically or by brazing or welding resp. to carrier parts. In the second case a base material coated or clad with the precious contact metal - for special applications also clad with another non-precious material – in the form of strips or profiles is manufactured as a semi-finished pre-material from which the contact components are then stamped and formed. Besides mechanical cladding other processes such as electroplating and deposition from the gas phase are utilized.
