Abstract
The electrical contact alloy is provided comprising Sb and either Au or Ag or both. In such alloys, Sb produces a non-catalytic effect to inhibit formation of carbon from organic gases derived from resin parts. Therefore, when electrical contacts of such alloys are assembled with resin parts into housings, poor contact due to carbon deposition is prevented to increase the useful life and reliability of the electrical contacts.
