Embodiment Construction

[0014] figure 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of an electrical conductor 100 formed in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. The electrical conductor 100 may be any type of electrical conductor, such as contacts, terminals, pins, sockets, eye-of-needle pins, snap pins, flexible pins, wires, cable braids, traces, pads, etc. . Electrical conductor 100 may form part of an electrical connector, cable, printed circuit board, solar panel, or the like.

[0015] In the exemplary embodiment, electrical conductor 100 is a multilayer structure having a metal substrate 102 and an organic composite coating 104 deposited on metal substrate 102 . The organic composite coating 104 may be added to reduce wear on the metal substrate 102 . The organic composite coating 104 may be added to reduce friction on the metal substrate 102 . The organic composite coating 104 can be added to replace other types of lubricants or coatings that have relatively high contact resistance, such as grap...

Abstract

An electrical conductor (100) includes a metallic substrate (102) having a surface (112) and an organic compound coating (104) deposited on the surface. The organic compound coating may comprise a graphene coating (104), a carbon nanotube (CNT) coating or a blended graphene / CNT coating. The organic compound coating (104) defines a separable interface of the electrical conductor configured to be mated to and unmated from a mating conductor. The organic compound coating is electrically conductive. The organic compound coating has a lower friction coefficient than the surface of the metallic substrate (102).

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter of this article generally relates to electrical conductors with organic composite coatings. Background technique [0002] Electrical conductors come in many forms such as contacts, terminals, pins, sockets, eye-of-needle pins, snap pins, flex pins, wires, cable braids, traces, pads, and more. Such electrical conductors are used in many different types of products and devices, including electrical connectors, cables, printed circuit boards, and the like. Lubricants are used on some electrical conductors to reduce wear and friction. Known lubricants include graphite applied to an electrically conductive metal substrate. While graphite works well to reduce wear and friction, graphite has a high contact resistance. When graphite is applied to a metal substrate, the electrical properties are reduced, sometimes to the point of excessive signal attenuation. The use of graphite on electrical conductors has not typically been successfully...
