They provide both mechanical support and electrical connection for the circuits. In order to reduce electromagnetic wave reflection at fuzz button connector transitions resulting from impedance discontinuity, suitable physical dimensions and dielectric material in interconnections area are needed. In this work, a Finite Integration Time Domain (FITD) model for the research objective composed of waveguide PCBs and fuzz-button connectors was developed, and its corresponding SPICE model and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model were also presented. The FITD model results were consistent with the SPICE and FEA model results. Using the obtained FITD model, the influences of the change of physical sizes and material parameters of fuzz-button connector on circuit impedance were analyzed based on time domain reflectometry (TDR) and high frequency parameters. This research provides a better understanding of the effects of physical dimensions and dielectric materials of fuzz-button connector on signal transmission and guides engineers in the selection of the proper parameters to ensure interconnections with high signal integrity.","PeriodicalId":338653,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 66th Holm Conference on Electrical Contacts (HLM)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115374366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research focused on an improvement of breaking capacity of CuCr30 contacts by using Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) sintering process. The current breaking capacity and welding strength was compared with conventional powder metallurgy CuCr30 contacts. The experimental results showed that the SPS sintering process improved the electrical life. The conventional powder metallurgy processed CuCr30 contacts successfully interrupted short circuit current of …kA with 13 times, while the SPS process sintered CuCr30 contacts reached 19 times, even though it is still lower than that of the vacuum melting CuCr30 contacts (22 times) and the arc melting process contacts (23 times).

In this paper, the effects of current on human beings was analyzed firstly. Then the impedance model of human body was built for different electric shock conditions. Meanwhile, the representative electric shock simulation models of TN, TT and IT systems were established. And the characteristics of residual current caused by direct and indirect electric shock in different grounding modes were researched. Next, the influence of system factors on circulating net currents and the detection of residual current was analyzed. On this basis, the configurations of RCD in DC system were proposed finally, protecting human body from electric shock and preventing electric fire accident threats.","PeriodicalId":338653,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 66th Holm Conference on Electrical Contacts (HLM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129254151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Silver, with lower contact resistance and cost, is an attractive alternative to gold. However, the propensity of silver finishes to cold-weld upon contact with other silver finishes results in high coefficients of friction and poor wear performance. This low durability has limited the adoption of silver contact finishes in reusable connectors. Herein, we demonstrate a new high performance electroplated silver connector finish that withstands 10,000 wear cycles with minimal wear and has low coefficient of friction, without requiring external lubricants. DuPont's High Durability Silver finish also exhibits excellent thermal stability and adhesion over nickel, maintaining low resistivity, wear resistance, and good adhesion. Additionally, the acidic plating process is highly efficient and free of acutely toxic components such as cyanide.","PeriodicalId":338653,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 66th Holm Conference on Electrical Contacts (HLM)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121358444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Greenwood and Williamson (GW model) first developed a rough surface contact model to solve the problem of electrical contact. The original GW model used the Hertz single asperity model and a Gaussian distribution of the surface roughness. However, in many of the electrical contact cases, contact area surpasses the Hertz small contact region. For medium to complete contact cases, asperity interactions become very important and the Hertz model cannot predict this behavior. Besides asperity interaction, the probability distribution function (PDF) of the asperities of the rough surface is very important as not all the surfaces are Gaussian in nature. This work has shown the effect of asperity models to predict the asperity interaction behavior. Then the asperity models are applied with different PDF of the asperities of the rough surface in the framework of the statistical model. For the elastic case, the newly proposed rough surface models are compared with a Boundary Element Method (BEM) simulation result and the Persson model. For the elastic-plastic case, electrical contact resistance has been measured between two rough surfaces using the four-wire resistance method and then the newly proposed rough surface models are compared with the experimental results. Comparisons suggest that sinusoidal asperity model and the proper choice of the PDF of the asperity of the rough surface can effectively model the contact resistance behavior.","PeriodicalId":338653,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 66th Holm Conference on Electrical Contacts (HLM)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123184455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To analyze the temperature dependent contact behavior an axisymmetric sinusoidal asperity model of tin has been developed using Finite Element method. The axisymmetric sinusoidal model reduces computational expenses and can effectively consider the asperity interaction, which is an important factor for large elastic-plastic deformation. The model considers temperature dependent yield strength, thermal conductivity and resistivity. Effect of thermal expansion co-efficient is also included. For material modeling, Johnson-Cook material model has been used which can model the temperature dependent material behavior from room temperature to melting temperature. Results show that temperature dependent resistivity and thermal conductivity are the key factors that govern the contact mechanism and temperature dependent yield strength has negligible effect on the electrical contact behavior. The finite element results have been validated comparing the results with the closed form solutions available for voltage-temperature relation. Later an equation has been suggested for the electrical contact resistance (ECR) determination, modifying the current equation derived by Greenwood and Williamson. The equation should be able to predict the contact resistance from room temperature to high temperature cases.","PeriodicalId":338653,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 66th Holm Conference on Electrical Contacts (HLM)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129124093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our research focuses on approaches to reduce this material wear. Selection of a lubricant that has good lubricity and low contact resistance characteristics is important. In this study, we examined molybdenum disulfide, which was coated onto the copper cylinder surface. An energization experiment was performed by bringing a copper pin sample into contact with the cylinder. There have been no previous reports on the sliding current at materials coated with molybdenum disulfide. Thus, we aimed to clarify the frictional and electric conduction characteristics of molybdenum disulfide. The coefficient of friction was reduced by half through coating the sliding surfaces with molybdenum disulfide, indicating a lubricating effect. In addition, the contact electric resistance was reduced by the effects of the lubricant. However, when the lubricant peeled off owing to sliding contact, adhesion occurred owing to sliding contact between the copper surfaces.","PeriodicalId":338653,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 66th Holm Conference on Electrical Contacts (HLM)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123707579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
