Permanent Connections to Wire and Cable
As noted, there are two mechanical permanent connection technologies for wire and cable, crimped and insulation displacement connections. Crimped connections ...
Permanent Connections
In general permanent connections are intended to be exactly that, permanent connections, once and done. Therefore they are not limited ...
Contact Normal Force Parameters
After this discussion about the effects of contact normal force, attention now turns to the design and material parameters that ...
Contact Force and Mating Mechanics
Consider now the effects of contact force on the mating mechanics of a connector. Figure 2.20 schematically illustrates the mating, ...
Contact Force and Mating Wear/Durability
The variation of mating wear/durability as a function of contact force is a good example of normal force optimization. The ...
Separable Connections and Contact Force Optimization
Before the question of optimizing contact force is addressed it is necessary to ask a more fundamental question: “What does ...
Contact Spring Requirements
As discussed in Chapter I/1.2.2 Contact Springs, the three basic requirements for the contact spring are: • Electrical conductivity• Creating ...
Separable Interface Requirements
Separability requires that a connector has the capacity to be mated and unmated multiple times without any unacceptable effect on ...
