Contacts, Spring-Loaded and Pressure: XP3A-5866-0742D-S/S

Application Field

The XP3A-5866-0742D-S/S (“XP3A”) is an electrical contact device with a spring loaded and pressure contact designed for use in circuit breakers, switches and other applications requiring contact closure and opening. With its unique design and spring loaded pressure contact system, it can handle up to 10/16A current on mains voltages of up to 120 Vac or 250Vdc.

Working Principle

XP3A is a contact that utilizes a combination of pressure plus spring loading. It utilises two opposing spring-loaded leaves which have been pressed together to form one contact face. When the contact is closed, there is a slight compression of the leaves which leads to a larger contact area than with a standard contact. The contact is held in position by a complete set of spring-loaded leaves that are all interconnected and subjected to an increasing compression.

The force of the spring loading helps establish a reliable and secure contact closure under working pressures up to 10/16A current. This helps in increasing the longevity of the components making them more reliable and durable even under extreme temperature conditions. The spring loaded and pressure contact system also allows the XP3A to provide consistent contact closure with levels of bounce and vibration normally encountered in industrial environments.

XP3A provides a reliable connection between two electrical circuits with superior electrical capacity to suit various applications. The contact leaves are made out of gold-plated stainless steel to reduce the risk of corrosion and ensure long-lasting performance and reliability. The gold-plated stainless steel contact leaves also help to deliver consistent electrical contact pressure and force that helps to create more reliable and secure electrical connections.

Conclusion

XP3A-5866-0742D-S/S is designed for use in circuit breakers, switches and other applications requiring contact closure and opening. Its unique spring loaded and pressure contact system provides a reliable connection between two electrical circuits, with superior electrical capacity to suit various applications. Contact leaves are made out of gold-plated stainless steel, delivering a consistent electrical contact pressure and force. This makes it an ideal contact solution for use in harsh operating environments.
