Capabilities

Manufacturing precision at the base material stage is essential to downstream forming, joining, and assembly operations.

From powder metallurgy and process oxidation, to extrusion, casting, rolling, flattening, drawing and final preparation, Checon supports a complete precious metal alloy strip, wire, and rod forming capability, including:

  • Range of Sizes, Widths and Thicknesses to Accommodate Multiple Design and Manufacturing Needs
  • Custom Precious Metal Alloys to Meet Specific Performance Requirements
  • Custom Surfaces for Desired End Product Finishes
  • Round, Flat and Shaped Wire Formats to Support the Manufacture of Rivets, Stampings, and Subassemblies
  • A Variety of Coil Weights, Spool Sizes, and Spooling Configurations
  • Base Material Consistency for Form Repeatability and Final Assembly Stability

Precious Metal Alloys:

  • Silver Tin Oxide
  • Silver-Cadmium Oxide
  • Silver-Nickel
  • Fine Silver
  • Silver Graphite
  • Other Alloys

Light and Medium Duty Automotive and Appliance Switches

Contact Us

Wire, strip, and rod fabrication operate within Checon’s broader manufacturing platform that supports electrical contacts, contact assemblies, and bus bars with integrated electrical contacts. Controlling base material forms internally allows dimensional and material compatibility to be maintained across subsequent joining and assembly processes.
