Fretting Corrosion in Ruggedized Backplane Connectors
Fretting corrosion caused by the relative movement of contacts during continual shock and vibration in harsh environments is the leading cause of failure in aerospace, space, and defense systems platforms. Fretting is defined as accelerated surface damage occurring at the interface of the electrical contact due to micro-movements caused by temperature variation, vibration, and shock. This causes an increase in electrical contact resistance and eventually leads to an electrical failure.
