Abstract :
The current flow and potential distribution in some simple connectors is analysed. A standardised location of potential probes when making contact resistance measurements is recommended, and resistances so obtained are free from erroneous implications to the connector´s performance. A procedure offering a means of estimating the true contact resistance is outlined.
