Abstract

A slip ring and brush assembly comprises a gold plated slip ring surface and a bundle of conductive fibers in the 2 to 3 mil size range. During use, gold transfers from the ring to the fibers, and the resulting gold-on-gold contact interface of ring and brush is extremely noise free and long wearing.
