Abstract

This paper discusses contact interaction under mechanical stress and how vibrations change the physical properties of conductor materials, which affects their ability to provide reliable contact. It also analyzes the causes of contact failures, which allows us to better understand the mechanisms that lead to problems in the operation of electrical connectors. These factors can lead to serious consequences, including breakage and reduced reliability of connectors, and also considers the possibilities of improving the characteristics of electrical contacts at the stage of their creation, using various technologies for applying and creating an approximately ideal molecular structure of the contact surface of detachable electrical connectors, with an increase in the surface layer of the contact and a decrease in the coefficient of friction.
