Soon after its founding in 1922 Electrical Contacts became the focal world for DODUCO.
Soon after it's founding in 1922 Electrical Contacts became the focal world for DODUCO. In
the previous two 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.
Ever increasing requirements on the performance of contacts in electrical switching devices, the need for highly reliable interconnections between electro-mechanics and electronics, the minimizing of precious metal usage and the call for more environmentally compatible materials and manufacturing processes, defined in the past years the development of materials and technologies related to electrical contacts. These latest developments and repeated requests from our customers were the motivation to update the 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 the manufacturing of contact parts and assemblies, but are outside of DODUCO's product offerings. These include contact carrier materials such as copper and nickel alloys, as well as thermostatic materials.
Ever increasing requirements on the performance of contacts in electrical switching devicesEven so,the need for highly reliable interconnections between electro-mechanics and electronics, theminimizing of precious metal usage, and the call for we felt it was necessary to add more environmentally compatiblematerials detailed descriptive passages about products and manufacturing processestechnologies, defined in which expanded the past years the development ofmaterials original focus on mostly data tables and technologies related to electrical contactsdiagrams. These latest developments We updated andrepeated requests from our customers were the motivation to publish a new edition re-wrote most chapters of thewell known DODUCO Data Book. It includes now We also materials whose properties expanded andapplications are mostly relevant in updated the North American and Asian markets. We also includedmaterials which are needed for references at the manufacturing end of contact parts and assemblies, but each chapter which areoutside of AMI DODUCO's product offerings. These include contact carrier materials such ascopper and nickel alloys, as well as thermostatic materials meant to aid those readers who want to benefit from more and brazing alloysdeeper detailed published resources.
Even so we felt it necessary This updated Electrical Contacts Wiki again is meant to add more detailed descriptive passages about productsbe a handy reference and technologies, which expanded the original focus on mostly data tables anddiagrams, we continue source for all those who need to keep work in the name Data Bookfield of electrical contacts and their applications. We updated and re-wrote mostchapters It can however not be a full substitute for the third edition but changed to a slightly larger format of the book personal discussions with experts in orderelectrical contact technology. For to improve its ease of use. We also expanded such technical exchanges we offer the direct expertise and updated the references at the end ofeach chapter which advice from our application engineers who are meant ready to aid those readers who want to benefit from more anddeeper detailed published resourcesanswer your questions.
The third edition was published in English in 2010 under the name AMI DODUCO.Since later in that year Please challenge us with your unique problems or special requests, because our company world 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 World of DODUCOElectrical Contacts.
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. Please challenge us with your unique problems or special requests; because ourworld is the World of Electrical Contacts. The EditorsDODUCOPforzheim, Germany, May 2012February 2023
