  text: The use of lubricants on electrical connector contacts is essential for certain
    applications in order to reduce mating forces, minimize wear, and mitigate fretting
    corrosion. However, increasing performance requirements (e.g., operation at elevated
    temperatures) and regulatory restrictions are prompting a reassessment of lubricant
    selection. In this study, the influence of three lubricants (one oil and two greases),
    operating temperature (room temperature and 130°C), and applied volume (low, medium
    and high volume) on electrical contact resistance (ECR) and coefficient of friction
    (CoF) is investigated by means of fretting wear tests on silver-plated contacts.
    The results show that unlubricated silver contacts exhibit a longer stable phase
    at 130 °C than at room temperature. For lubricated contacts, service life is influenced
    by both temperature and lubricant volume. Certain lubricants demonstrate earlier
    fail at room temperature than at elevated temperatures. The findings highlight
    the importance of careful selection and optimization of lubricants for electrical
    connectors under varying environmental conditions.

  text: The state of health and lifetime estimation process of electrical connectors
    via lifetime tests is a time and labor intensive process. In our previous work,
    a correlation between the contact resistance developments in the early stages
    of lifetime tests of electrical connectors with the final results was established
    using a data driven statistical process based on probability distribution. Also,
    state of health indicators for prognosis of lifetime were introduced. In this
    work, the state of health indicators have been optimized. The sensitivity analysis
    is performed with regards to the selection of the appropriate amount of test data
    based on test duration for the reliable prognosis of the state of health and the
    characteristic lifetime. Through this the possibility of further reduction of
    test duration required for the reliable prognosis of state of health is investigated.
    Based on the results of analysis, a guideline for the determination of the duration
    of lifetime tests which lead to a reliable prediction of lifetime of connectors
    can be provided. Also, an assessment of the state of art in the prognosis of the
    lifetime of electrical connectors has been presented.

  text: In order to guarantee long lifetime and high performance of electrical contacts,
    a plating is usually applied on the base material. Silver is a promising plating
    material because of a good balance between performance and costs. The conventional
    silver plating is soft; therefore, a thick silver plating should be used to prevent
    the wear through during the operation. In order to enhance the wear resistance
    and prolong the lifetime of the silver plating, silver platings are modified by
    co-depositing nanoparticles with a core/shell structure into the silver matrix.
    A novel method to prepare the Ag (shell)@Al 2 O 3 (core) nanoparticles by galvanic
    process is introduced in this paper. The influence of fabrication parameters in
    the galvanic process such as the concentration of silver nitrate solution and
    the plating voltage on the silver content in the Ag@Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles is
    investigated. Afterwards, different concentrations of core/shell nanoparticles
    are co-deposited into the silver plating to study the effect of nanoparticles
    on the microhardness, microstructure and the lifetime of the silver plating. As
    a result, the microhardness and the lifetime of the silver plating are significantly
    improved and a favorable nanoparticle concentration exists for the longest lifetime.
    Moreover, the mechanism of the lifetime improvement is determined.

  text: Lifetime tests of connectors are time consuming and labor intensive. Our study
    reveals a strong correlation between the statistical characteristics of contact
    resistance development in the early stages of lifetime tests and the final results
    of the tests. This correlation enables a further time lapse of lifetime tests
    and the prediction of the state of the health of connectors which can be utilized
    in the development of diagnostic strategy in sophisticated networks with very
    high number of connectors as well as in a quick classification of connectors with
    respect to their design features. Methods of statistical evaluation are introduced
    and the sensitivity analyses of different characteristics for the state of health
    of connectors are conducted.

  text: The function and reliability of electrical connectors in automotive applications
    is crucial for vehicle safety, especially with regard to E-mobility and autonomous
    driving. For this reason, electrical connectors are being developed for long-term
    use applications. However, a small amount of function failures are still being
    observed in long-term use field vehicles. In this study all electrical connectors
    of five long-term driven vehicles from various car manufacturers are disassembled
    and analyzed. The same analysis procedure is followed for every vehicle and the
    electrical resistance of the connectors is measured to determine electrical failures.
    The contacts of failed connectors are further analyzed using optical microscopy,
    XRF spectroscopy, EDS and detailed contact resistance mapping. By comparing the
    connectors with electrical failures to the same types of connectors with a proper
    electrical resistance, failure mechanisms can be detected and analyzed. The frequency
    of various failure mechanisms is statistically evaluated. The results of the analysis
    provide valuable indications with respect to improvement of the reliability of
    connectors.
