Ned,

Not familiar with this K term.  For straight resitance changes in
transformers, we always used 0.0039 per C.  Does K somehow include contact
resistance, not just bulk resistance?

This is definitely the time to measure it.

Environmental chamber at -50, 0, 50, 100, and 150.  Make your own curves.

    Subject: Constant for Change of Resistance formula.


    Hi,

    Does any one know how the constant for CoR formula was determined?  I
know the K is 234.5 for copper and 226 for aluminum, but what property is
this related to?

    I am trying to determine the change in temperature of a connector, based
on the change of resistance.  The connector contacts are made of brass.

    Thanks

    Ned
