What triac does

TRIAC Corporation is a privately held North Carolina manufacturer founded in 1995 and headquartered in Greensboro. It produces electrical contacts, discrete contact tips, contact assemblies, welded assemblies, replacement contact kits, and precision-cut stainless-steel or nickel tubing for OEM electrical equipment and power-control applications. Its stated markets include aviation, energy, industrial electric, military, residential appliances, and transportation.

Manufacturing is built around electrical contacts and metal joining: TRIAC offers micro-welded assemblies, resistance-welded assemblies, precision tubing, and services including underwater percussion welding, induction brazing, resistance welding/weld brazing, and mechanical attachment. The documented percussion process produces 95-100% bond integrity with a.002-inch heat-affected zone; induction systems cover 1-35 kW and 1-45 kHz, and resistance options include spot, seam, projection, and direct welding.

The commercial model is direct and quote-based: TRIAC uses separate USA and international estimate/order forms, with document uploads for customer drawings and specifications. No public revenue, headcount, funding, or contract-value data is disclosed.

Products and services

• Electrical Contacts Discrete contact tips and contact assemblies for switches and circuit protection devices. Available in Fine Silver, Coin Silver, Silver Cadmium Oxide, Silver Nickel, Silver Tungsten, and Copper Tungsten materials for industrial power control and low power control applications.
• Micro Welded Assemblies Miniature welded assemblies created by joining small metal components using precision welding techniques to form robust electrical connections for precision industrial applications.
• Resistance Welded Assemblies Metal assemblies joined through the application of heat, pressure, or both to fuse parts together, forming solid and reliable bonds for industrial applications including switches and circuit protection devices.
• Precision Tubing Small-diameter stainless steel or nickel tubes cut and polished to exact specifications, ranging from .030 to .156 inches OD and .026 to .124 inches ID, designed for wire-to-wire connections in precision industrial applications.
• Replacement Kits Replacement electrical contact kits designed to restore and maintain contactors and motor starters by replacing common wearable parts including movable and stationary contacts, fasteners, springs, and accessory hardware.
• Percussion Welding Contract welding service that directly bonds two metals using a high-voltage electrical arc and forge pressure before molten metals solidify. Achieves 95-100% bond integrity across the bond area with a minimal .002 inch heat-affected zone, using 100KVA and 250KVA equipment for similar and dissimilar metal joining.
• Induction Brazing Induction heating service for brazing, soldering, melting metal, heat treating, and shrink fitting. Uses 1 kW to 35 kW induction heaters with frequencies from 1 kHz to 45 kHz, including localized annealing and configurable coils and fixtures for complex shapes.
• Resistance Weld Brazing Resistance welding and weld brazing services including spot welding, direct welding, weld brazing, and hot riveting for switches, circuit protection, and IEC devices. Joins metals by applying pressure and electric current.
• Mechanical Attachment Mechanical attachment solutions including rivets for low-power switch applications, mechanical crimping, force fit joints, brackets, clamps, and hot riveting for enhanced electrical continuity where welding is not suitable.
