Why Low MOQ Custom Bimetal Rivets for Relays Are Essential in 2026

In 2026, many relay manufacturers – especially startups, R&D teams, and small-to-medium OEMs – need **low MOQ custom bimetal rivets for relays** to test new designs without high inventory risk. Traditional suppliers often require 50K–100K MOQ, making prototyping expensive and slow. Chende solves this with low MOQ (starting at 10K pieces) and fast prototype (3–5 days), allowing you to customize alloy, head shape, size, and plating exactly to your relay's needs.

Our low MOQ custom bimetal rivets help you reduce development costs, speed up time-to-market, and meet RoHS requirements. This guide covers materials, types, selection tips, real cases, and 2026 trends for low MOQ custom bimetal electrical contacts rivets in relays – all from our factory experience. For the full custom process, see our main guide Custom Silver Electrical Contacts According to Drawings 2026.

Low MOQ Custom Bimetal Rivets Materials for Relays: AgNi/Cu vs AgSnO2/Cu

For relays, the most common low MOQ custom bimetal rivets materials are AgNi/Cu and AgSnO2/Cu. Here's a comparison from our 2025–2026 relay tests:

Material	Conductivity (% IACS)	Hardness (HV)	Arc Erosion (mg/10K cycles, 30A)	Anti-Welding Force (N)	Life Cycles (30A AC1)	Best For
AgNi/Cu	70–90	80–150	0.6–0.8	50–120	100K–500K	Automotive & signal relays
AgSnO2/Cu	75–80	100–130	0.3–0.4	140–200	200K–1M	High inductive load relays

AgNi/Cu is the most popular for low MOQ custom bimetal rivets in relays due to its balance of cost and performance. AgSnO2/Cu is ideal for high inductive loads. For material comparison, see our main guide Custom Silver Electrical Contacts According to Drawings 2026.

AgNi/Cu Low MOQ Custom Bimetal Rivets for Automotive Relays

AgNi/Cu low MOQ custom bimetal rivets (70–90% Ag, 10–30% Ni) are ideal for automotive relays. Nickel increases hardness (80–150 HV) and anti-welding force (50–120 N), while maintaining good conductivity (70–90% IACS). In our tests, AgNi/Cu bimetal rivets achieve 100K–500K life cycles in 12–48V automotive applications, with contact resistance stable at 2–4 mΩ after 100K cycles.

Chende offers low MOQ (10K pieces) AgNi20/Cu bimetal rivets for automotive relays. For automotive custom bimetal rivets, see Low MOQ Custom Silver Nickel Contacts for Automotive 2026.

AgSnO2/Cu Low MOQ Custom Bimetal Rivets for High Inductive Relays

AgSnO2/Cu low MOQ custom bimetal rivets excel in relays with high inductive loads. Tin oxide particles prevent welding and reduce arc erosion to 0.3–0.4 mg/10K cycles. Doping with In₂O₃ (1–3%) lowers temperature rise by 15–20%, making these bimetal rivets ideal for EV charging relays. In real customer tests, switching to AgSnO2/Cu low MOQ custom bimetal rivets extended relay life from 50K to 300K+ cycles.

Chende produces AgSnO2/Cu bimetal rivets with nano-sized tin oxide for uniform dispersion. For high inductive relays, AgSnO2/Cu is the sustainable choice. For more on AgSnO2 custom bimetal rivets, see OEM Custom AgSnO2 Contacts for EV Charging Relays 2026.

Real Case: Low MOQ Custom Bimetal Rivets for Automotive Signal Relay

A startup relay manufacturer sent us drawings for a 12V signal relay. They needed low MOQ (10K) and fast prototype. We recommended AgNi15/Cu bimetal rivets with custom head shape. Key results:

Prototype delivered in 4 days
Anti-welding force reached 80 N
Life cycles exceeded 200K in DC tests
Cost reduced by 25% vs their previous supplier

They approved the prototype and ordered 50K pieces/year. This shows how low MOQ custom bimetal rivets help startups succeed. For more cases, see Silver Contact Applications Guide.
