dcterms.abstractWhile a lot of research can be found in the field of bulk resistance of carbon filled polymers, comparatively few papers focus on contact resistance between compound and metal contacts. Due to that small number of researches that deal with contact resistances, studies of the influence of injection molding conditions and parameters on the contact resistance are also very rare. In contradiction to that, these influences on bulk resistance have been studied. The objective of this work was to investigate the electrical contact resistance of overmolded tinplated copper contacts after modifying flow situations and molding conditions by procedural and constructional methods in contact areas. Metal pins were overmolded with a polypropylene compound containing 45 vol.% graphite, utilising an insert injection molding process. To affect the flow situation at the contacts, several processing parameters, such as mold temperature and injection speed, were modified. In addition, the contact alignment related to melt flow direction was varied. Electrical properties were studied and related to macroscopic and microscopic connection properties and flow situations in contact regions. It was found that the contact resistance is a significant factor while examining electrical resistances of overmolded samples. Furthermore, it was shown that the various flow situations had an essential impact on contact resistances. Weld lines at the position of the contact caused a decreased contact resistance. The correlation of the weld line effect, the filler orientation and contact resistance were successfully investigated by μ-CT. Regarding processing parameters, it was observed that a high mold temperature of 120 °C increased not only bulk conductivity, but also had a positive impact on contact conductivity. Macroscopic and microscopic connection mechanisms of contact surfaces were interpreted and connected to the experimental observations.eng
