“In the production of the Finder KNX actuator, AgSn02 material is used for the relay contacts. This is to ensure the contacts can handle a maximum inrush current of 120 A for 5ms, all of which results in the highest reliability even when switching high inrush current loads typical of modern LED lighting and electronic transformers. “
