Can anyone direct me to a materials chart for referencing materials
for electrical contacts?(Providing something like that exists).

I've had no luck with Google, and since I'll need to make contacts for
several projects I'm trying to get a good idea about what material/s I
should get. Specifically materials that will be handling the power
outputs of normal computer power supplies.

Thanks a lot.

The word you're looking for may be "connector". Googling ( PC power
supply connector ) turned up the following:

No, not connectors.

I want to make electrical contacts.

--How much power and how much arcing do you anticipate? Also how
fast do you want to make contact and how often do you need to do it? These
variables need to be pinned down before you decide on a material.
