Short answer:<\/strong> Stamped power contacts should be quoted with heat rise and voltage drop evidence when current, plating, kontak force, or assembly pressure can affect electrical performance. The RFQ should define the current path, mating surface, test current, temperature limit, voltage-drop method, sample condition, plating stack, wire or busbar interface, and whether results are checked before and after aging or cycling.<\/p>\n

A stamped kontak can look acceptable on the drawing and still run hot in the product. The risk usually comes from a small real kontak area, weak spring force, thin plating, burrs on the current path, poor mating alignment, contamination, or a joint that changes after repeated assembly.<\/p>\n

Define the electrical condition, not only the metal part<\/h2>\n

The drawing may show thickness, outline, and plating, but the electrical result depends on how the kontak is used. A spring kontak pressed against a pad, a crimped tab, a welded battery tab, and a bolted busbar need different test setups. The RFQ should show the mating surface, kontak pressure, assembled height, allowed movement, and whether the part is tested free-state or installed in a fixture.<\/p>\n

For copper and brass parts, conductivity is only part of the answer. Heat can also come from a narrow neck, a punched edge, a weak joint, a plating boundary, or a surface that is touched during handling. If flat kontak pads or hole alignment matter, review the busbar hole alignment and flatness guide<\/a> before approving the test plan.<\/p>\n

Connect heat rise to plating, force, and cleanliness<\/h2>\n

A heat-rise report is not useful if the kontak force, plating stack, and surface condition are undefined. Tin, nickel, silver, and selective plating behave differently under load, wiping, aging, and vibration. If the test is run on freshly cleaned samples but production parts arrive with oil film or packaging debris, the evidence may not match the assembly line.<\/p>\n

Ask whether resistance is checked before and after mating cycles, vibration, thermal exposure, or storage. For kontak surfaces that slide or wipe, use the kontak wipe edge radius guide<\/a> and the fretting corrosion guide<\/a> to define the risk. For formed busbars with insulation or masking, connect the current path to the busbar insulation masking guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n
