Describing the pins and receptacles in plug/socket assemblies: "De pennen of bussen kunnen van koper, ijzer of **konstaan** zijn vervaardigd." Can't find this anywhere. I'm wondering if it is some kind of tin (stannum) compound. Any suggestions? TIA.

constantan
Constantan is an alloy having an electrical resistance that varies only very little with temperature (over a limited range around normal room temperatures). It consists of copper (50-60% and nickel $0-50%) and is used in resistance wire, thermocouples, etc. (Concise Oxford Science Dictionary)

tungsten
COuld be a typo (or rather a dictaphone error) for tungsten - the use of tungsten for this is quite likely
Tungsten pins have high ductility and anti-abrasive properties. They are applied to inspection probe pins or contact pins for LSIs used in semiconductors ...www.toshiba.co.jp/tmat/eng/material/e_tan_7.htm
