Material needs to:
• Pass ampere test at 10A and 16A conditions
• Pass glow wire test at 750°C at 1.5mm thickness
• Have a lubrication effect and dimensional stability at an elevated
temperature of 110°C
• Meet test criteria of 250K cycles switch on/off without failure or
dimensional changes
• Reduced risk of shock by replacing brass with polymer
formulation that met all key electrical and functional
performance criteria
• Eliminated the need for secondary lubricant due to self-
lubricating properties of LubriOne materials
• Enabled in-house molding which removed reliance on
external part supplier and allowed direct management
of global inventory levels
