Abstract-Fretting is known to be a major cause of contact deterioration and failure, particularly in tin-plated contacts. During fretting the contact resistance generally increases slowly with time. Superimposed on this slow increase in contact resistance are rapid changes in contact resistance within fractions of a second, called intermittences or short duration discontinuities. Although intermittences have been reported by several authors, they are frequently overlooked in traditional fretting experiments and not much is known about their origin. The present study aims at filling this gap.A test apparatus has been built to measure the contact voltage-drop profile during an intermittence and fretting experiments on tin-plated copper contacts have been carried out. The results lead to a set of requirements for a model to explain intermittency phenomena.

“…The higher the current, the earlier and more frequent discontinuities occur. Lee et al [17] find that the higher the current in a fretting experiment, the earlier the static contact resistance would start to rise.…”

“…Beyond that region there observed to be a rapid increase in contact resistance. The observed results correlate well with those of other researchers [2][3][4][5][6]. The initial hump is due to the presence of a thin film of tin oxide on the surface of the tin plated contact, which is removed in a very short span of time.…”

“…However, the susceptibility of tin plated contacts for fretting corrosion is considered to be a major limitation for its use in connectors. Fretting corrosion of tin plated connectors has been the subject of many papers [2][3][4][5][6]. The effect of contact force, wipe distance and fret amplitude has been considered as important variables.…”

“…The effect of contact force, wipe distance and fret amplitude has been considered as important variables. The extent of change in contact resistance as a function of process variables is determined and the increase in contact resistance has been attributed to oxide formation and accumulation of wear debris at the contact zone [2][3][4][5][6].…”
