→Solid Contact Rivets
Solid contact rivets are the oldest utilized contact parts. Their manufacturing requires a ductile contact material and is done without scrap on fully automated special cold heading machines. A wire slug is cut off and the rivet head is formed by pressing and hammering. This way contact rivets with various head configurations such as flat, domed, spherical, or pointed can be manufactured depending on the final application and switch or relay design.
