CNC Machined C11000 / C10200 Copper Contactor Terminal Block with 0.02mm Flatness and 5-10 Micron Tin Plating for Reliable Electrical Power Connections

A contactor terminal block is a critical component that appears simple but requires precise manufacturing to ensure reliable performance. These copper terminals carry significant current and must maintain low contact resistance through thousands of make-break cycles.

We machine contactor terminal blocks from C11000 ETP copper and C10200 OFHC copper, maintaining terminal contact surface flatness to 0.02mm and bolt hole position to ±0.01mm for even contact pressure. Standard tin plating (5-10 micron) provides oxidation protection, with nickel underplating available for harsh environments and silver plating for maximum conductivity.

• C11000 / C10200 Copper: 101% IACS (C11000) or 101.5% IACS (C10200 OFHC) conductivity for minimal voltage drop
• Contact Surface Flatness: 0.02mm across terminal mating surface ensures even contact pressure
• Bolt Hole Precision: ±0.01mm positional accuracy for consistent alignment
• Tin Plating Standard: 5-10 micron plating prevents oxidation and maintains stable contact resistance
