Oxide layer
An oxide layer is a thin layer of oxidized material that forms on metallic surfaces through reaction with oxygen.
It can affect electrical conductivity at contact points and increase transition resistance.
In test technology, the oxide layer is an important factor in contact quality and can be specifically penetrated using suitable tip styles or contact probe coatings.
FAQ
It forms on many metals, such as copper or aluminum, through contact with oxygen.
It can lead to unstable connections or unreliable measurement results.
Through appropriate contact pin geometries, higher Contact forces, or special coatings.
