Abstract: An ultra-thin AuPdAgNi contact alloy inlay system has been developed and examined for high temperature connector applications. Electrical contact resistance was evaluated after exposure at elevated temperatures in air or in humidity. Different hard-Au-electroplating systems were also used for comparisons. It showed that the inlay system had superior electrical contact characteristics than the electroplating systems.
