Abstract
Failures of aluminum connections in various residential electrical applications are examined. Specific examples are provided, including aluminum bus bar contacts, aluminum-bodied connectors, and aluminum-shell lamp sockets. Design factors of the failed connections are discussed in terms of criteria for successful long-lived contact to aluminum. Deficiencies of the designs and the applicable qualification standards are discussed.<>
