METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE TRANSITION RESISTANCE IN AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN TWO CONTACT ELEMENTS AND COMPONENT HAVING AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN TWO CONTACT ELEMENTS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for improving the transition resistance in an electrical connection in particular a pressure connection between two contact elements (1 2). With repeated mechanical or thermal loads such connections in particular connections having a small cross section or comprising soft material have a transition resistance which increases over time. According to the invention the transition resistance is improved by there being applied to at least one contact face (3 4) of a contact element (1 2) a chemically reducing substance (6) which activates the contact face (3 4) and consequently increases the conductivity and the cold welding density.
