In modern electronics, the connection between electrical contacts is key to overall electrical and mechanical performance. This presentation explains the influence of the contact surfaces in the mating area of connectors. We will discuss different layer structures and their influence on the requirements of a connector like electrical & mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Our main goal is to show you how to ensure a long-term reliable connection and extend the lifespan of your electrical systems.
Who should attend?
Hardware & Design Engineers: Seeking to optimize the long-term reliability of electrical architectures.
Materials Specialists: Interested in the metallurgy of contact interfaces and the kinetics of surface degradation that impact reliability.
Quality & Reliability Managers: Focused on eliminating common failure modes, including oxidation, galvanic corrosion, and fretting, to ensure fail-safe performance.
Technical Buyers & Project Leads: Looking to evaluate the technical necessity and the reliability benefits of high-grade surface finishes for critical applications.
