- the present invention relates to a switch such as a micro switch.
- Ag Cd-based alloys have been frequently used as power electrical contact materials used in this type of switchgear because of their excellent welding resistance, wear resistance, and low cost. I have.
- Ag Cd0 alloys contain power harm (C d), which is a harmful component to the human body.
- the g-SnO-based alloy is excellent in that it does not contain components harmful to the human body.
- a g- S n 0 based alloy is the generation of an arc that is based on the opening and closing of the contacts, deposited on the surface of contact with the free electrically insulating tin oxide (S n 0 2) force, contact resistance Abnormal heat is generated by the increase in the temperature.

- Each contact was internally oxidized with an alloy consisting of 2.0-5.0% by weight of tin, 5.0-8.0% by weight of indium, and less than 0.5% by weight of an iron group metal and the balance being silver. Made of material.
- tin for improving the melting resistance and indium for improving the wear resistance are blended in a content of 2.0 to 5.0% by weight of tin and 5.0 to 8.0% by weight of indium. By doing so, the welding resistance and wear resistance of the contact material itself can be further improved.
- this contact material at occurrence of arc based on opening and closing of the contacts, deposited on the surface of the contact away the insulating oxide is a tin oxide (S n ⁇ 2) Yu, contactor of This is a factor that increases the resistance value.
- the oxide deposited on the contact surfaces of the movable contact and the fixed contact may be removed from the contact surface by a snap ring-based movable contact or wiping operation. Removed.
- the movable contact comes into contact with the fixed contact at a high speed that is almost unrelated to the speed at which the switch is operated by the snap-action, the above-mentioned attached acid is exposed to a shock wave at the time of the contact. Oxide can be scattered and removed from the surface of the contact. Therefore, the contact surface between the movable contact and the fixed contact can always maintain a clean contact surface, stabilize the contact resistance value of the contact low and prevent abnormal heat generation, welding resistance, wear resistance Can be enhanced.
- the movable contact is separated from the fixed contact at a high speed, the arc generated at the time of the disconnection can be quickly cut to further improve wear resistance, and a switch having high contact reliability can be provided. Can be provided.
- the switch is a micro switch.
- the switch is a limit switch.
- the switch is applied to the micro switch, so that it has excellent welding and wear resistance and high contact reliability.
- a switch can be provided.
- the weight ratio of tin to indium is about 2 for tin to 1 indium.
- the weight ratio of tin to indium is about 3.2 for tin and about 6.3 for indium.
- FIG. 1 shows an example of the switch according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the temperature rise characteristics of the switch shown in FIG.
- a common fixed terminal piece 2 a normally open fixed terminal piece 3, and a normally closed fixed terminal piece 4 are fixed to a switch case 1 constituting the My Cross Switch M, and both fixed terminal pieces 3 are fixed.
- a normally open fixed contact 5 and a normally closed fixed contact 6 are fixed to the inner ends of, 4 so as to face each other.
- the movable contact 7 that contacts and separates from the normally open and normally closed fixed contacts 5 and 6 is fixed to the distal end 8 a of the movable contact piece 8, and the base 8 b of the movable contact piece 8 has a pressing operation body. 9 are arranged.
- the movable contact piece 8 is a contact mechanism that provides a snap action
- This contact mechanism 10 includes, for example, a compression spring 11 erected on the inner end bent portion 2 a of the common fixed terminal piece 2 and a distal end 8 a of the movable contact piece 8, and a distal end of the receiving member 12.
- the portion 12 a is rotatably fixed to the inner end 2 b of the common fixed terminal strip 2.
- the base end 12 b of the receiving member 12 locked by the locking portion 13 is provided to face the base end 8 b of the movable contact piece 8.
- composition content in Table 1 indicates% by weight.
- each sample is as follows. That is, sample A as an alloy composition before internal oxidation is composed of Sn: 5.1% by weight, In: 3.1% by weight, Ni: 0.2% by weight, and the balance: Ag.
- Sample B had S n: 3.2 weight and I n: 6. 3% by weight, Ni: 0.2% by weight, balance: Ag.
- sample C contained 0.5% by weight of Sn and 9% of In: 9.
- Table 2 shows the results of a temperature rise test performed on the micro switches shown in Fig. 1.
- Samples A, B, and C in Table 2 are switches whose normally open fixed contacts 5, normally closed fixed contacts 6, and movable contacts 7 have the composition and composition content of samples A, B, and C in Table 1.
- Table 2 shows the common fixed terminal piece (COM terminal) 2 and the normally open fixed terminal piece (NO terminal) at three switches (No. 1 to 3) for each sample A, B and C. 3 and the normally closed fixed terminal strip (NC terminal) 4 Measurement temperature C), normally open fixed contact 5, normally closed fixed contact 6 and movable contact 7, each contact resistance value ( ⁇ ), and withstand voltage The test results are shown.
- Table 3 shows the results of a similar temperature rise test when the movable contact piece 8 was not provided with a contact mechanism 10 (Fig. 1) requiring a snap-action. Shown in This was performed using a known micro switch in which the movable contact 7 was switched to the fixed contacts 5 and 6 by slow action.
- Fig. 2 shows the temperature rise characteristics of each sample A, B, and C in the slow function. (Dotted line) and the temperature rise characteristics of the snap action
- Table 4 shows the results of a lamp load test performed on samples B and C for the micro switches shown in Fig. 1.
- tin which improves the welding resistance
- a switch is formed with indium which improves consumability
- the alloy composition before the internal oxidation is 2.0 to 5.0% by weight of tin and 5.0 to 8.0% by weight of indium. It was confirmed that the composition was excellent in welding resistance and wear resistance.
- the above-mentioned contact material generates tin oxide (SnO 2), which is an electrically insulating oxide, by the generation of an arc based on the opening and closing of the contacts 5, 6, and 7, and releases each of the contacts 5, 6, and 7 It becomes a factor that increases the electric resistance value when it adheres to the surface of.
- the movable contact 7 removes oxides deposited on the contact surface in a rolling or wiggling operation based on stop action, and also removes the oxide.
- the snap contact in which the movable contact 7 contacts and separates the fixed contacts 5 and 6 at a high speed almost independently of the speed at which the micro switch is operated.
- the deposited oxide can be scattered and removed from the contact surface.
- the contact surface of the movable contact 7 with respect to the fixed contacts 5 and 6 can always have a cleaned contact surface.
- the movable contact 7 opens at a high speed from the fixed contacts 5 and 6, the arc generated at the time of the contact and separation can be quickly cut to further improve wear resistance.
- the movable contact 7 is a normally open fixed contact.
- the microphone D switch that contacts the fixed contact 5 and the normally closed fixed contact 6 has been described.
- one of the normally-open fixed contact 5 and the normally-closed fixed contact 6 may be omitted, or another switch such as a limit switch may be used in place of the micro switch. Needless to say, this is good.
- the switch according to the present invention can improve welding resistance and wear resistance, and can obtain high reliability. Therefore, the micro switch is not limited to the switch. It can be applied to a switch and exert an excellent effect.
