Method for producing an electric contact support
A method for the production of an electric contact carrier includes producing a basic profile from a basic material. A contact material is applied on a contact accepting area of the basic profile. The contact material is formed into a contact of the contact carrier. Then, the contact carrier is removed from the basic material.
1. A method for the production of an electric contact carrier of a switching bridge, the method comprising:
producing a basic profile from a basic material, the basic profile including a contact accepting area;
welding a portion of a contact material on the contact accepting area of the basic profile; and then
cutting a remaining portion of the contact material from the welded portion after the contact material is welded to the contact accepting area;
forming the welded portion of the contact material into a contact of the electric contact carrier; and then
removing the electric contact carrier from the basic material.
2. The method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the basic profile is at least one of punched and embossed from the basic material.
3. The method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the contact accepting area is formed at the basic profile by at least one of embossing and upsetting.
4. The method in accordance with claim 1 wherein the contact material is applied as a wire-shaped contact material on the contact accepting area.
5. The method in accordance with claim 1 wherein the contact material is formed into the contact by embossing.
6. The method in accordance with claim 1 wherein the contact carrier is embossed from the basic material.
