I am looking for some recommendations for an electrical contact material.
I am basically picking a design change from prototype to production where someone else left off. I am re-designing a small sheet metal part that needs to also function as a spring to keep electrical contact with a watch battery. The original drawing simply calls out "Nickel Plated 3/4 Hard Bronze" for material. I have no reason to change the material other than specifying an actual bronze alloy. What bronze alloys are better suited to this application and which are not?
Thanks in advance.
