See the complete assembly
Start from the contact, support part, and their installed relationship as one finished unit.
Align the input parts
Clarify the supplied parts, production responsibility, and required surface condition.
Set the joint arrangement
Define the rivet position, assembly orientation, and acceptance checks for the finished assembly.
Create a repeatable assembly
The approved assembly sample becomes the working specification for repeat-production checks.
Riveted assembly dimensions
Confirm the support, contact position, rivet orientation, and finished assembly dimensions together.
| Dimension | How confirmed |
|---|---|
| Support thickness | Drawing or sample |
| Contact position and projection | Drawing or sample |
| Rivet position and orientation | Drawing or sample |
| Overall assembly length / width | Drawing or sample |
| Tolerances | Technical review |
Confirm these dimensions and tolerances from the drawing or sample, material system, and project review before production.
- Contact material and support material
- Support thickness, key locations, and overall assembly geometry
- Rivet position, orientation, and finished surface condition
- Agreed visual, joint, and assembly checks
Understand the Structure and Key Features
Mechanical joint · section
The rivet passes through the support; its end is formed to retain the assembly.
- Contact head
- Conductive support
- Formed rivet end
Compare the contact material, conductive support and joining method.
Manufacturing & inspection
Manufacturing route
Support preparation, contact positioning, and riveting are planned as one assembly process.
- Support stamping or forming as required
- Contact-rivet positioning and mechanical joining
- Assembly orientation and key-location control
- Sample production to the approved assembly sample or drawing
Inspection focus
Acceptance checks follow the assembled joint and its installed function.
- Key dimensions, position, and orientation
- Visual condition and finished surface
- Joint condition and shear-related checks where specified
- Cross-section or metallographic checks when required by the inspection plan
Materials & applications
Material systems
- Specified contact materials
- Copper or copper-alloy support materials
- Finished surfaces selected for the assembled part
Typical applications
- Relays
- Switches
- Contactors
- Circuit breakers
- Temperature controllers
