Why OEM Custom AgSnO2 Contacts Are Essential for EV Charging Relays in 2026
EV charging relays are the heart of fast charging stations, handling high DC currents (100–500A) and voltages (400–1000V). In 2026, with global EV adoption exploding and charging speeds pushing to 350kW+, relays face intense arcing, welding, and heat. Off-the-shelf contacts can't meet the exact specs for these systems, so **OEM custom AgSnO2 contacts** are the way to go: silver tin oxide (AgSnO2) provides superior arc resistance and anti-welding, customized to your relay's design.
At Chende, 50% of our EV orders are OEM custom AgSnO2 contacts. We customize alloy doping, head shape, size, and plating, with low MOQ (10K pieces) and fast prototype (3–5 days). This guide covers materials, performance, selection, real cases, and 2026 trends for OEM custom AgSnO2 contacts in EV charging relays – all from our factory experience. For the full custom process, see our main guide Custom Silver Electrical Contacts According to Drawings 2026.

OEM Custom AgSnO2 Contacts Materials: Doping & Performance
For EV charging relays, we customize AgSnO2 with tin oxide content 8–15% and doping (In₂O₃ or Bi₂O₃). Here's a comparison from our 2025–2026 tests:
| Doping Type | Tin Oxide Content | Conductivity (% IACS) | Arc Erosion (mg/10K cycles) | Anti-Welding Force (N) | Life Cycles (200A DC) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In₂O₃ Doped | 12% | 75–80 | 0.3–0.4 | 140–200 | 200K–1M | High inductive EV relays |
| Bi₂O₃ Doped | 10% | 78–82 | 0.35–0.45 | 120–180 | 150K–800K | Cost-sensitive applications |
| No Doping | 8% | 80–85 | 0.4–0.5 | 100–150 | 100K–500K | Basic DC loads |
In₂O₃ doped AgSnO2 (12%) is our top recommendation for EV charging relays, reducing temperature rise by 15–20%. We customize doping levels based on your drawings. For material comparison, see Bimetal Rivets Materials Comparison 2026.

Performance of Custom AgSnO2 Contacts in EV Charging Relays
Custom AgSnO2 contacts achieve:
- Arc erosion resistance: 0.3–0.4 mg/10K cycles
- Anti-welding force: 140–200 N
- Contact resistance: 4–6 mΩ
- Current withstand: 200–500A DC
- Life cycles: 200K–1M operations
Chende customizes AgSnO2/Cu with nano-tin oxide for uniformity. For EV performance, see Bimetal Rivets in High Voltage Applications 2026.
Real Case: OEM Custom AgSnO2 Contacts for 350kW EV Charging Relay
A US EV charging company sent drawings for a 350kW relay contact. They needed high anti-welding and RoHS compliance. We customized AgSnO2(12) + In₂O₃/Cu contacts with custom head shape. Key results:
- Anti-welding force reached 180 N
- Life cycles exceeded 500K in 1000V DC tests
- Temperature rise 18% lower under 500A load
- Cost reduced by 30% vs solid silver
They approved the prototype in 4 days and ordered 800K pieces/year. This shows why OEM custom AgSnO2 contacts are essential for EV charging. For more cases, see Silver Contact Applications Guide.

2026 Trends: OEM Custom AgSnO2 Contacts for EV Charging Relays
By 2026, OEM custom AgSnO2 contacts will see:
- Nano-doping for 20% better arc resistance
- Tri-metal designs for corrosion in outdoor chargers
- IoT integration for predictive maintenance
- Low MOQ (5K) for startup EV companies
Chende is piloting nano-doped AgSnO2/Cu for 500kW+ chargers. For trends, see Silver Contact Industry Trends 2025–2030.
