Frequently Asked Questions
The tarnishing of silver-plated contacts is a natural phenomenon that leads to a more or less dark coloration of the contact surface. Nevertheless, the electrical function of the connector remains unaffected.
Silver coatings, such as those used for electrical contacts, become discolored after a certain storage period. This phenomenon is known as silver tarnishing. Silver tarnishing is caused by a variety of chemical reactions. The main product of silver tarnishing is silver sulphide, but oxygen is also involved in the reaction mechanism. Other gases such as nitrogen oxide and chlorine also influence silver tarnishing.
The reaction rate depends on several parameters:
the sulphur content of the ambient atmosphere
Temperature and relative humidity of the ambient atmosphere
Although the sulphide has a low electrical conductivity, there is no significant increase in the contact resistance of silver-plated contacts. The correct electrical behavior of silver-plated contacts can be explained by the low thickness of the sulfide layer (only a few nanometers) and its low degree of hardness. Due to the sliding friction of the contacts during insertion and removal and the effect of the normal contact force in the inserted state, the silver sulphide layer is displaced so that the electrical contact resistance remains unchanged.
