Transition resistance

Transition resistance describes the electrical resistance that arises at the contact point between two conductive surfaces. At FEINMETALL, this term is relevant for Contact Probes, Test Fixtures, connectors, and other contact solutions.

A low and stable transition resistance is crucial for reliable signal transmission and precise measurement results. It is influenced by factors such as contact force, surface material, coating, Tip style, contamination, oxide layers, and the quality of the contact point.

In test engineering, increased transition resistance can lead to unstable measurement values, faulty contacts, or the need for repeated tests. Suitable contact components help maintain a consistently stable electrical connection.

FAQ

Low transition resistance ensures reliable signal transmission and precise measurement results.

Contamination, oxide layers, improper Contact force, wear, or damaged contact surfaces can increase the transition resistance.

With the appropriate contact force, the correct tip style, a high-quality coating, and clean contact surfaces, the transition resistance can be kept stable.
