This parameter study
investigates the influence of several design parameters (wire diameter, canted
angle, coil height, spring diameter, number of turns) and amperage on the
contact force and electrical resistance of axially canted coil springs. The
correlations are quantified by a full factorial experiment that is based on a
numerical finite element model. The static load deflection curve of the spring is
experimentally verified by a compression load cell, which links contact forces to
their corresponding spring deflections. Varying amperage and deflection are
applied through a test setup with Four-terminal sensing to measure the total
contact resistance. An analytical model is developed to separate the bulk and
constriction resistances of spring and mating partner from the total contact
resistance. The results allow the identification of an optimal spring
configuration particularly for high-current contacts.
