TXC Features
Original Technology
Stable quality and high reliability have been accomplished by TANAKA's proprietary technologies. In particular, these technologies were extensively adopted to manufacture stable multi-layer contacts, e.g. double-layer and triple-layer contacts, etc.

Quality
TXC's excellent quality can cope with any high-grade requirement. Moreover, through thorough quality control, highly stable long lengths of strip materials are also available.

Reliability
Customers have come to rely on TXC due to it's excellent records in applications such as X-bar exchange relays, various relays and switches, etc. over long periods of time.

Low cost
Precious metals used for contact surfaces can be limited to only necessary parts with sufficient thickness. At the same time, long strips are available. Consequently, TXC can be employed in automatic manufacturing lines with a smaller labor force, resulting in a drastic cost reduction. (Contact points are also available after cutting strips.)

Free Choice of Shape
If a specific shape on the table is unsatisfactory, a customer will be offered a shaped to meet their requirements.

Consolidation with Spring Material
TANAKA supplies long-size strips where TXC is seam-welded onto spring material. It is an effective way to cut facility costs in the after-processes.
