Scope and common interpretation errors
For existing conductive-contact accessories, without claiming an unverified resistance target.
Contact area, contamination and electrode wear affect results. A conductive pill alone does not establish a stable complete interface; one continuity test misses repeated operation.
Turn the review into recorded checks
| Step | Action and evidence |
|---|---|
| 1 · Define the contact pair | Record electrode material, surface, spacing and conductive-contact geometry. |
| 2 · Link resistance to loading | Measure at agreed force or travel and retain the loading history. |
| 3 · Compare before and after durability | Separate electrode cleanliness, contact wear and mechanical return changes. |
A comparison to avoid misinterpretation
Compare clean and controlled-contamination electrodes at equal force to investigate interface sensitivity. Such testing does not authorize contamination in production.
Frequently asked question
Can probes pressed directly onto a conductive pill qualify the part?
They do not replace validation with the real electrode and assembly load.
