  text: "In a previous paper, the correlation between the wear resistance of coatings
    and the lifetime of electrical connectors under fretting load was discovered.
    Based on this knowledge, various modifications of silver-based coatings with markedly
    increased wear resistance have been developed, and a calculation model for predicting
    connector lifetime has been formulated. Investigations on silver-coated electrical
    contacts with increased wear resistance show extended lifetimes in fretting wear
    and fretting corrosion tests, and the calculation model with various modified
    coating materials can be validated. However, contacts with very high wear-resistant
    coatings fail earlier than the specific wear coefficient and the calculation model
    prediction suggest.\r\nThe in-depth investigation of the coating material and
    the wear scar revealed the reasons for this unexpectedly shorter lifetime. The
    high wear resistance of modified silver coatings is achieved by increased micro-hardness.
    Both coatings with coating materials of high hardness and high thickness can lead
    to longer lifetimes under fretting load. However, increased fretting cycles can
    also cause fatigue and electrical contacts can fail due to delamination of the
    surface coating caused by fretting fatigue, and this delamination can lead to
    a sudden exposure of the base material, thus enabling its corrosion.\r\nTherefore,
    both wear resistance and fatigue resistance should be increased in order to achieve
    a long lifetime of electrical contacts under fretting load."

  text: For modern machines, factories and electric and autonomous vehicles, the importance
    of vreliable electrical connectors cannot be overstated. With an increasing number
    of connectors being used in machines, factories and vehicles, ensuring their reliability
    is crucial for comfort and safety alike. One of the key indicators of reliability
    is the lifetime of connectors. To evaluate the lifetime of electrical connectors,
    a testing method and a model for calculating their lifetime based on the test
    data were developed. The results from these tests were compared to failure analysis
    data from long-term field operations. The findings indicate that the laboratory
    tests can accurately reproduce the main failures observed in the field. However,
    such lifetime tests can be time- and labor-intensive. To address this challenge,
    a data-driven method is proposed that predicts the lifetime of electrical connectors
    using statistical analysis of electrical contact resistance data collected from
    short-term tests. The predictions from this method were compared to actual results
    obtained from long-term tests. A strong correlation was observed between the contact
    resistance development in short-term tests and the number of failures in later
    stages of testing. Thus, apart from predicting the lifetime of connectors, this
    method can also be applied for failure prognosis in real-time operations.

  text: The reliability and lifetime of electrical contacts is an important aspect
    in system reliability and is influenced by numerous factors. Micro motions as
    well as vibrations lead to fretting wear, which can result in wear through of
    the protective coating. If this layer is worn through, the non-noble layer underneath
    is exposed, resulting in the occurrence of fretting corrosion with further relative
    motion. This leads to an increased electrical contact resistance (ECR) and can
    cause the contact to fail. Increasing the hardness of the coating material can
    reduce the wear and in turn increase contacts’ lifetime. The micro hardness, wear
    and lifetime of contacts with modified hard silver coatings are investigated in
    fretting wear and corrosion tests and the results compared to a conventional silver
    coating. Since one of the modifications shows a significant reduction in wear
    and hence improvement in lifetime, further analysis with SEM and FIB is conducted
    in order to identify the key mechanisms leading to this improvement. With a further
    increase in lifetime however, fatigue as well as delamination of the coating are
    revealed to be of high relevance. Both can be main causes of electrical contact
    failure under fretting load. In general, at lower number of cycles, increased
    micro hardness has the greatest effect on lifetime and wear while at the higher
    number of cycles, fatigue is observed to be the dominant failure mechanism.

  text: Failure in time (FIT) is an important measure for the reliability of electrical
    connectors. Due to the very long lifetime of connectors, the tests for the determination
    of FIT rate are time and labour intensive. In this paper a data driven method
    using a statistical process to estimate the FIT rate of electrical connectors
    with data of electrical contact resistance development in short term tests is
    proposed. The results of prediction are then compared with the results from long
    term tests. The study shows a strong correlation between contact resistance development
    in short term tests and the development of the number of failures in later stages
    of tests. In order to predict the development of degradation precisely, the distribution
    of resistance data in many different tests with different connectors is investigated.
    The Generalized Extreme Value Distribution, which reveals an ideal fitting, has
    been implemented for the prediction of the failure rates of connectors, thereby
    enabling a remarkable time-lapse of lifetime tests. This method can also be employed
    in the prognosis and management of system health through the forecast of health
    of connectors in different systems in operation.

  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.
