23-25 October, 2008
Florida Hotel & Conference Center, Orlando, Florida
Dr. Paul G. Slade
Course Director, Arcing & Power Contacts
Dr. Roland S. Timsit
Contact Fundamentals & Connectors
The
2008 Intensive Course has been completely revised to reflect recent needs
in understanding very low contact force phenomena and the effects of high
frequency currents. While doing
this, the Course still covers the broad range of electrical contact
situations, which are listed below:
·
Making contact and surface finish effects
·
Making connections and connector design (low and high current)
·
Switching contacts ac and dc design considerations (low and high
current)
·
Contact materials for connectors and for switching contacts
·
Contact finishes
·
Contact failure mechanisms and how to analyze them
·
Corrosion and the effects of ambient environments
Each
participant will receive a complete set of the Course notes and a copy of
the perfect reference book “Electrical Contacts – Principles and
Applications” edited by Dr. Paul G. Slade. The Course includes class
problem-solving exercises so that participants will learn how the Course
material can be applied. A participant in this Course will thus leave the
sessions with a thorough and broad knowledge of the subject. Our teaching
approach will allow practicing engineers to use detailed knowledge of
contact technology to resolve their own practical design problems.
