Expert knowledge

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. Through the global expansion, DODUCO employees have gradually worked on solving electrical contact problems all over the world in 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 are daily motivation and a well-received opportunity for technical advice. With the new edition of the proven data book, a recognized compendium entered its third edition.. It includes now also materials whose properties and applications are mostly relevant in the Eauropean, North American and Asian markets. We also included materials which are needed for the manufacturing of contact parts and assemblies. These comprise contact carrier materials such as copper and nickel alloys, as well as thermostatic materials and brazing alloys.

Since June 2014, the DODUCO data book has also been available in German and English as a wiki reference work.
