Scope

GB/T 15078-2021 is the English-translated version of 贵金属电触点材料接触电阻的测量方法.

GB/T 15078-2021 is the Chinese national method for measuring the contact resistance of precious metal electrical contact materials. It specifies the static measurement: the principle, the apparatus and the contact force applied, the specimens and their preparation and cleaning, the measuring procedure, the calculation and the test report.

It applies to precious metal contact materials, and other metal and alloy contact materials may follow it for reference. Contact makers, relay and switch manufacturers and their laboratories use it.

It replaces GB/T 15078-2008, was issued on 20 August 2021 and has applied since 1 March 2022.

Foreword

This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for Standardization Work Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents" Drafting.

This document replaces GB/T 15078-2008 "Measurement method of contact resistance of precious metal electrical contact materials", and GB/T 15078-2008 In comparison, in addition to structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.

a) Added the test at 10°C~40°C (see Chapter 5);

b) The recommended value is changed to 3.3µm/s (see 6.2.5,.2008 edition 5.2.5);

c) The requirements for potential leads have been changed (see 6.4.3,.2008 edition 5.4.3);

d) The requirements for specimens and probes, and specific observation methods for the cleanliness of the specimen surface have been added (see 7.4);

e) Increased non-obvious air flow (see 8.1.1);

f) Added description of 1cN=10-2N (see 8.1.2);

g) Changed the sequence of power on and equipment preheating (see 8.3.3,.2008 edition 7.3.3);

h) Added that K3 is placed in the standard resistance selection position and the interval is 10s, and then the probe is raised (see 8.4.1);

i) Changed the order from low to high (see 8.4.3,.2008 edition 7.4.3);

j) Change the unit of resistance Rn, Rc, Rci to "ohm (ohm)" (see 9.1);

k) Added that as the measurement current and measurement pressure increase, the contact resistance will decrease and the increase in contact time appears to be rapid first Decrease, and then gradually stabilize the decay process, based on this feature, you can select the appropriate contact pressure, test current and test time Conditions to reduce the influence of these main factors on the measurement of contact resistance (see 9.3);

l) The content of the test report is changed (see Chapter 10, Chapter 9 of the.2008 edition).

1 Scope

This document specifies the method for measuring the contact resistance of noble metal electrical contact materials (static).

This document applies to the measurement of the contact resistance of noble metal electrical contact materials. Other metal and alloy electrical contact materials can also be used as reference.

2 Normative references

The contents of the following documents constitute the indispensable clauses of this document through normative references in the text. Among them, dated quotations Only the version corresponding to that date is applicable to this document; for undated reference documents, the latest version (including all amendments) is applicable to this document.

GB/T 8170 Numerical rounding rules and the expression and determination of limit values

3 Terms and definitions

The following terms and definitions apply to this document.

3.1 Static contact

The contacts are in static contact with each other, and there is no continuous clutch action.

3.2 Constrictionresistance

When the current passes through the contact surface, the resistance increase caused by the sharp contraction of the current wire.

3.3 Membrane resistance

The resistance produced by the contact surface film.

3.4 Contact resistance

The total resistance generated at the contact point when current passes through the contact, including shrinkage resistance and membrane resistance. The total resistance value is the sum of the two resistances.

3.5 Bulkresistance

The resistance generated after the current flows through the contact material itself, its value is proportional to the resistivity and length of the material, and inversely proportional to the cross section.

3.6 Probe

A device for measuring the contact resistance of a sample. Its basic shape is a cone, mainly cones and pyramids. When measuring, the tip of the cone is straight.

The contact is in contact with the surface to be measured of the sample, and the surface of the sample is used as the reference surface. The reference surface can be of different shapes.
