An electrical contact apparatus, comprising:
- a first element of a first material having one or more apertures;
- and
- a second element of a second material positioned within at least one aperture of the one or more aperture,
- wherein the second material is different from the first material.
An electrical contact assembly of a circuit interconnect device, comprising:
- a first element of a first material, the first element having one or more aperture;
- and
- a second element of a second material, the second element positioned at least one aperture of the one or more aperture,
- wherein the second material is different from the first material, and the first element and the second element are attached onto at least one conductor.
