A method of using accelerated testing and change in voltage drop (or resistance) after aging is proposed in rating the performance of power contacts. It was shown in previous papers that change in voltage drop exhibits a threshold for stability for various materials. This feature is employed in a method that monitors voltage drop (or resistance) through life testing. Moreover, a statistical model...
Voltage drop, and change in voltage drop after aging, are considered in rating the performance of gold plated power contacts. In this case, samples are exposed to high current cycling at current levels that produce very high temperature rises. This created conditions that caused degradation due to thermal aging and possibly electro- migration. It is shown that the failure criterion for gold is similar,...
It was proposed in earlier work that change in voltage drop after aging be used to rate the performance of power contacts. In that paper it was shown that end-of-life failure criteria could be empirically modeled as a function of current for a given set of accelerated tests. This was established using a statistical model for the end-of-life change in voltage drop. The present paper expands on the...
