Built for Stability and Exceptional Performance

MSS tulip cluster contacts are designed to deliver stable and reliable electrical connections, even in demanding environments. Crafted from high-conductivity copper and copper alloys, these contacts feature optional tin or silver coatings to enhance durability and corrosion resistance. Their tulip-like geometry provides maximum contact surface area, ensuring secure connections under fluctuating electrical loads.

 

  • Durable in Dynamic Systems: Designed to accommodate vibrations and thermal expansion, these contacts maintain reliable electrical continuity in high-stress environments. Their robust construction reduces wear, extending the service life of switchgear and electrical assemblies​.
  • Optimised Contact Surface Geometry: The unique tulip-like shape enhances the effective contact area, ensuring low resistance and consistent conductivity. This geometry also minimises contact pressure fluctuations, supporting long-term system reliability.
  • Customised Plating Solutions: Available with tin or silver plating, these coatings offer corrosion resistance and oxidation protection. With plating thicknesses ranging from 2 to 100 microns, MSS ensures the plating matches operational demands, reducing maintenance needs and enhancing durability.
  • Engineered for High Electrical Loads: Capable of handling current ratings up to 150A and voltage ratings up to 1000V AC/DC, MSS tulip cluster contacts meet the requirements of power-intensive applications while maintaining low contact resistance of ≤ 0.5 mΩ.

 

With innovative design and robust materials, MSS tulip cluster contacts ensure consistent performance in critical applications, providing a reliable foundation for your electrical assemblies.

Innovative Features of MSS Tulip Cluster Contacts

MSS combines advanced engineering, premium materials, and meticulous quality control to produce tulip cluster contacts that excel in high-demand applications.

 

  • High-Conductivity Copper Alloys for Optimal Energy Transfer: Each contact is manufactured from premium-grade copper alloys, ensuring superior electrical conductivity and minimal resistance. The material’s high durability also reduces deformation during repeated operations, ensuring long-lasting performance.
  • Advanced Spring Fitment for Precision Integration: Using in-house tooling setups, MSS achieves precise spring fitment, ensuring optimal contact pressure and stability in dynamic environments. This integration prevents electrical arcing and ensures efficient energy transfer​.
  • Rigorous Plating Adhesion Testing: Tin and silver coatings undergo comprehensive adhesion tests to confirm durability under thermal cycling and mechanical stress. These tests ensure the plating resists peeling or flaking, even in extreme operational conditions.
  • Stress and Dimensional Verification: Each tulip cluster contact is visually and dimensionally inspected to meet stringent tolerances. Mechanical stress tests validate strength and reliability, reducing the risk of failure in critical applications.
  • Full Traceability with Engraved Part Numbers: To support operational accountability, each component is engraved with a unique part number, ensuring traceability throughout production, delivery, and installation.


Engineered for demanding environments, MSS tulip cluster contacts deliver unmatched reliability, making them the trusted choice for switchgear and power distribution systems worldwide.
