Electrical Contacts - Principles and Applications, Second Edition

Electrical Contacts: Principles and Applications, Second Edition is updated throughout to reflect the latest advances in electrical contact science and technology, including current research on contact corrosion, materials, and switching. Three new chapters address the effects of dust contamination, electronic sensing for switching systems, and contact phenomena for micro-electronic systems (MEMS) applications. Containing nearly 3,000 references, tables, equations, figures, drawings, and photographs, the book provides practical examples covering everything from electronic circuits to high power circuits, or microamperes to mega amperes.
