érintkezésiellenállás

érintkezésiellenállás refers to the electrical resistance that occurs at the interface between two conductive materials when they are brought into contact. This resistance arises from imperfections on the surfaces of the conductors, such as microscopic irregularities, dirt, or oxidation layers. When these surfaces touch, the actual contact area is much smaller than the apparent area, leading to a higher resistance than would be predicted by the bulk resistivity of the materials alone.

The magnitude of érintkezésiellenállás is influenced by several factors, including the materials' surface roughness, the applied contact pressure, the presence of contaminants, and the temperature. Higher contact pressure generally reduces érintkezésiellenállás by increasing the real area of contact. Contamination, such as oils or oxides, can significantly increase this resistance by forming insulating layers.

érintkezésiellenállás is a critical parameter in the design and performance of electrical connectors, switches, and relays. It can lead to power loss in the form of heat, voltage drops, and can degrade signal integrity, especially in high-frequency or low-voltage applications. Minimizing érintkezésiellenállás is often achieved through careful surface preparation, use of appropriate contact materials (e.g., noble metals), and ensuring sufficient contact force. In some applications, like welding or brazing, the goal is to eliminate érintkezésiellenállás by creating a permanent, solid connection between the conductors.
