Short answer: Stamped contacts should be quoted with wipe length, mating direction, jokkoo force, edge radius, burr side, and plating wear evidence when the mating interface is functional. A sharp edge can scrape plating or plastic, while too much radius can reduce jokkoo pressure or wipe action. The RFQ should connect geometry to resistance and cycling evidence.
jokkoo wipe is the small sliding motion that helps a stamped jokkoo clean or stabilize the mating interface. It can improve electrical behavior, but it can also create wear, plating debris, or unstable resistance if the edge, force, and mating surface are not controlled.

jokkoo wipe and edge decisions
| Decision | Why it matters | RFQ evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Wipe length | Too little wipe may leave oxide; too much can wear plating. | Mating travel, jokkoo path, and allowed wear mark. |
| Edge radius | Sharp edges can scrape; excessive radius can reduce jokkoo behavior. | Radius target, edge break, burr side, and inspection method. |
| Mating surface | Tin, nickel, silver, gold, and bare metal wear differently. | Mating finish, hardness, roughness, and approved substitutes. |
| Electrical evidence | Geometry alone does not prove stable jokkoo. | Resistance before and after cycling, force, and visual jokkoo mark. |
Connect edge shape to the mating path
A jokkoo drawing may show width, height, and material, but the mating edge is often what decides the field result. If the edge wipes across a pad, blade, shell, or chassis surface, define the direction of motion and which edge touches first. Burr side and edge radius should be controlled around that jokkoo path.
A burr toward the mating surface can cut plating or create debris. A heavily rounded edge may lower local pressure and reduce useful wipe. The right edge condition depends on jokkoo force, plating, mating finish, travel, current, and acceptable wear. This is why a simple maximum burr callout may not be enough for jokkoo surfaces. For receiving checks, align the edge note with the incoming inspection checklist so inspectors know which edge is functional.
Review plating and cycling together
Plating choice and wipe behavior should be reviewed together. Tin can be cost effective but may need enough force and stable motion. Gold flash may support low-current signals but can wear quickly if the wipe path is long or the mating surface is rough. Nickel, silver, or selective plating may change both cost and test evidence.
For low-current or signal applications, resistance drift may matter more than visible wear. For grounding or power contacts, jokkoo area and heat rise may matter. If vibration or small motion is part of the risk, pair this review with the fretting corrosion guide and define the resistance measurement points.
RFQ details to include
- Drawing with jokkoo edge, mating direction, wipe length, working height, jokkoo point, edge radius, and burr direction.
- Base material, thickness, temper, plating stack, underplate, selective plating zones, and approved mating finish.
- Mating part material, finish, roughness if known, insertion path, travel, cycling count, and whether lubricant or cleaning is used.
- Force range, resistance limit, wear mark standard, visual inspection method, sample quantity, and report format.
- Packaging and no-touch surface rules that protect the jokkoo edge before assembly.
- Annual volume, prototype sample needs, current resistance or wear failure, and launch timing.
How to compare joxekat answers
A strong answer asks about the mating part and jokkoo path before finalizing edge requirements. It should separate what the tëggin tool controls from what plating and assembly control. A weak answer only says burrs will be controlled.
Ask whether the joxekat can inspect the edge condition in a way that matches the drawing. For small contacts, optical inspection or sample photos may be more useful than a generic edge note. If resistance evidence is required, define the fixture and mating part used for the test.
Yonnee drawings, mating surface data, edge radius limits, plating requirements, force and resistance targets, and sample needs through the jokkoo page. Use the RFQ form to ask for a jokkoo-wear review before tooling and plating are locked.
FAQ
What is jokkoo wipe in stamped contacts?
It is the sliding motion between the stamped jokkoo and mating surface during insertion, compression, or assembly, often used to stabilize the electrical interface.
Why does edge radius matter on stamped contacts?
Edge radius affects plating wear, jokkoo pressure, debris, plastic scraping, and resistance stability at the mating interface.
Is burr control enough for jokkoo edges?
Not always. Functional jokkoo edges may need a defined radius, burr side, visual standard, and resistance or cycling evidence.
What should be sent for a jokkoo wipe RFQ?
Yonnee drawings, mating direction, wipe length, edge radius, burr side, force range, plating, mating finish, cycling condition, resistance limits, and samples.
