Abstract
An electrical contact device, configured for electrical signals to be transmitted therethrough and for movable contact with an electrically conductive track, includes a composite carbon fiber material including plural carbon fiber elements aligned in substantially the same direction. At least a portion of the plural carbon fiber elements is bonded together in a semi-conductive (low-resistance) synthetic resin compound.
Claims18
An electrical contact device configured for electrical signals to be transmitted therethrough and for movable contact with an electrically conductive track, the electrical device comprising:
- a composite carbon fiber material including plural carbon fiber elements aligned in substantially the same direction, with at least a portion of the plural carbon fiber elements being bonded together in a semi-conductive synthetic resin compound,
- wherein free ends of said carbon fiber elements are arranged to contact the electrically conductive track.
