Contact degradation caused by austenitic stainless steel feeder bowls has raised concern among manufacturers of electrical contacts. The surface contamination of three contact materials, fine silver, silver cadmium oxide (90%Ag 10%CdO), and a silver alloy (75%Ag 24.5%Cu 0. 5%Ni) with 15-microinch (Ra) surface finish, was investigated. Contact resistance probing was employed and surfaces were analyzed to explain the degradation process. The investigation elucidated the effects of various vibratory feeder bowl coatings which reduced surface contamination. The attainment of low contact resistance was explained as interactions among nobility of contact material, type of coating, and time spent in the vibratory feeder bowl.<>

The miniaturization limit of the reed switch with respect to the magnetic and mechanical properties is discussed assuming that the contact rating, the switching current and voltage, the carry current, and the breakdown voltage are 1 VA, 0.1 A, 24 V, 0.3 A, and 150 V, respectively. Assuming that the contact rating, the switching current and voltage, the carry current, and the breakdown voltage decrease, it was found that the ultraminiature reed switch with glass inner diameter of 1.0 mm and glass inner length of 4.0 mm can be put in mass production by using the existing process technology. This reed switch has a contact force of 1 gf and is suitable in the field of microelectronics.<>

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.<>

The results of a process to better understand the IBM GIT gaseous corrosion test are presented. Previous work over the past two years has centered around the changing of a single gas of a mixture and analyzing the subsequent corrosion products. In the work reported in the paper, an effort to achieve a particular corrosion outcome by changing multiple gas concentrations is attempted by applying knowledge gained from these previous experiments. The possible synergistic effects between different gas species were considered in a qualitative manner to determine the gas concentrations to be used for generating the desired composition of corrosion products. Results from these exposures were analyzed using coulometric reduction, SEM/EDX (scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy), and X-ray diffraction.<>

The broadly based use of theory for understanding, and hence improving, electrical contacts is considered. The author discusses such uses in four areas: (i) studies of monolithic metal-graphite brushes for determining their operating limits; (ii) development of high-performance metal fiber brushes based on theoretical considerations; (iii) developing a computer program for calculating contact spot temperatures, being the principal determinant of top brush performance; and (iv) studies of microscopic processes at a-spots including adsorbed layers, with the aim of optimizing the operating conditions of sliding contacts.<>
