AgSnO₂
Silver-tin oxide contact
Silver-tin oxide is considered for applications where resistance to welding and arc erosion at higher loads is important.
Technical information
AgCdO
Silver-cadmium oxide contact
AgCdO is used in some older stabilized designs because of its wear resistance and known switching behavior; Legal and environmental constraints of the project should be checked before selection.

Silver and composite contact
Pure silver and composite structures are used for low-energy circuits and compact equipment where high conductivity and precise contact surface control are important.
Technical information
AgCu
Silver-copper contact
The addition of copper to silver can increase the hardness and mechanical strength while maintaining an appropriate level of conductivity for the selected application.

No fixed current ceiling is valid without knowing the load, voltage, geometry and mechanism; This table only shows the axis of comparison.
| Alloy family | A common strength | A subject to be tested |
|---|---|---|
| Ag / FAg | High conductivity and low energy circuit | Surface film, contact force and wear |
| AgNi | Balance of conductivity, wear and manufacturability | Load type, metal transfer and inrush current |
| AgSnO₂ | Resistance to welding and arcing | Contact resistance, geometry and thermal path |
| AgCdO | Fixed designs and replacement parts | Alloy limitation, regulations and revalidation |
| AgCu | Harder than pure silver | Copper percentage, load type and behavior in DC |
| AgW / AgWC | Severe arcing and protective applications | Connection method, contact pressure and alloy brittleness |
