Soon after its founding in 1922 Electrical Contacts became the focal world for DODUCO. In the first editions of the DODUCO Data Book, this world was mostly limited to Europe. Since expanding its reach globally from the 1970s through the 1990s, including the start-up of manufacturing operations in China, the employees of DODUCO have concentrated on solving electrical contact problems around the world as the main task of their daily work.
Soon after it's founding Ever increasing requirements on the performance of contacts in 1922 Electrical Contacts became electrical switching devices, the focal world need for DODUCO. Inhighly reliable interconnections between electro-mechanics and electronics, the previous two editions minimizing of precious metal usage and the DODUCO Data Bookcall for more environmentally compatible materials and manufacturing processes, this world was mostly limited defined in the past years the development of materials and technologies related toEuropeelectrical contacts. Since expanding its reach globally These latest developments and repeated requests from our customers were the 1970s through motivation to update the 1990s, including DODUCO Data Book by the Electrical Contacts Wiki. It includes now also materials whose properties and applications are mostly relevant in the North American and Asian markets. We also included materials which are needed for thestart-up manufacturing of manufacturing operations in Chinacontact parts and assemblies, the employees but are outside of DODUCO haveconcentrated on solving electrical 's product offerings. These include contact problems around the world carrier materials such as copper and nickel alloys, as well as the main task oftheir daily workthermostatic materials.
Even so, we felt it was necessary to add more detailed descriptive passages about products and technologies, which expanded the original focus on mostly data tables and diagrams. We updated and re-wrote most chapters of the Data Book. We also expanded and updated the references at the end of each chapter which are meant to aid those readers who want to benefit from more and deeper detailed published resources.
Ever increasing requirements on the performance of contacts in electrical switching devices,the need for highly reliable interconnections between electro-mechanics and electronics, theminimizing of precious metal usage This updated Electrical Contacts Wiki again is meant to be a handy reference and the call data source for more environmentally compatiblematerials and manufacturing processes, defined all those who need to work in the past years the development field ofmaterials and technologies related to electrical contacts. These latest developments andrepeated requests from our customers were the motivation to publish a new edition of thewell known DODUCO Data Booktheir applications. It includes now also materials whose properties andapplications are mostly relevant can however not be a full substitute for personal discussions with experts in the North American and Asian marketselectrical contact technology. We also includedmaterials which are needed for For such technical exchanges we offer the manufacturing of contact parts direct expertise and assemblies, but advice from our application engineers who areoutside of DODUCO's product offerings. These include contact carrier materials such ascopper and nickel alloys, as well as thermostatic materials and brazing alloysready to answer your questions.
Please challenge us with your unique problems or special requests, because our world is the World of Electrical Contacts.
Even so, we felt it was necessary to add more detailed descriptive passages about productsand technologies, which expanded the original focus on mostly data tables anddiagrams. We updated and re-wrote mostchapters of the Data Book for the third edition but changed to a slightly larger format of the book in orderto improve its ease of use. We also expanded and updated the references at the end ofeach chapter which are meant to aid those readers who want to benefit from more anddeeper detailed published resources. The third edition was published in English in 2010 under the name AMI DODUCO.Since later in that year our company is owned by the investment groups TinicumCapital Partners II and JP Asia Partners and again is registered under the former nameof DODUCO, however using a new corporate identity and image. This event served asthe reason to again revise the Data Book and publish the latest version under the wellknown corporate name of DODUCO. This new DODUCO Data Book again is meant to be a handy reference and data sourcefor all those who need to work in the field of electrical contacts and their applications. Itcan however not be a full substitute for personal discussions with experts in electricalcontact technology. For such technical exchanges we offer the direct expertise andadvice from our application engineers and research and development staff who areready to answer your questions.
