Contact resistance

Contact resistance describes the electrical resistance at the contact point between the Contact Probe and the Test Point. It arises from the physical contact between the contact surfaces and is influenced by factors such as spring force, surface finish, material, and contamination. Low contact resistance is essential for reliable measurements, stable signal transmission, and precise electrical testing in test systems.

FAQ

Low contact resistance ensures stable signal and current transmission and prevents measurement errors in electrical tests.

Spring force, material and coating of the contact surfaces, surface roughness, oxide layers, and contamination.

Through sufficient spring force, appropriate contact tip geometry, high-quality coatings, and clean contact surfaces.
