The contents of the following documents constitute essential provisions of this document through normative references in the text: Among them, the dated quotations For undated referenced documents, only the version corresponding to that date applies to this document; for undated referenced documents, the latest version (including all amendments) applies to this document: GB/T 2828:1-2012 Enumeration sampling inspection procedures Part 1: Batch-by-batch inspection sampling retrieved by acceptance quality limit (AQL) plan GB/T 5163 Density, oil content and porosity of permeable sintered metal materials (excluding cemented carbide) Determination GB/T 5586 Test methods for basic properties of electrical contact materials GB/T 5587 Basic shapes, dimensions, symbols and markings of silver-based electrical contacts GB/T 26871 Metallographic test methods for electrical contact materials JB/T 4107:3 Chemical analysis methods for electrical contact materials Part 3: Determination of carbon content in silver graphite

3 Terms and definitions

There are no terms or definitions to be defined in this document: 4 Symbols, codes and marking methods Silver graphite electrical contacts are coded using a combined coding method: Silver is represented by the two English letters Ag: Graphite uses the English letter C express: The mass fraction of the graphite component is represented by an Arabic numeral: Graphite orientation is represented by two English letters, Pw means no orientation, Qc is the vertical orientation, and Qp is the parallel orientation: If necessary, the soldering silver layer is represented by an English letter, H means with soldering silver layer, N means without soldering: Connect the silver layer: If necessary, the hardness state of the material is represented by an English letter, R is the soft state and Y is the hard state: The coding structure diagram is shown in Figure 1: Ag C (△) △/△ △ Hardness state of material (R, Y) Solder silver layer (H, N) Graphite orientation (Pw, Qc, Qp) Mass fraction of graphite component (numeric code) Graphite (letter code) Silver (letter code) Figure 1 Coding structure diagram of silver graphite electrical contacts Example: AgC(3)Qc/HR represents a vertically oriented silver-graphite electrical contact containing 3% graphite with a welded silver layer in a soft state:
