Crimping methods during production of electrical connectors
Electrical connectors are required to transfer electricity between different components or devices. Crimping ensures reliable contact between conductive parts but can generate stress and damage to the material.
High-resolution Synchrotron-CT of crimped electrical connectors
Synchrotron-CT is an analytical technique that allows to resolve cracks, deformation and other types of material damage in three dimensions and down to a few micrometers in resolution.

Answers to the most frequently asked questions
Synchrotron-CT has been applied to both male-female crimping and screw-cable crimping type of connectors.
Synchrotron-CT provides a high-resolution three-dimensional representation of the sample geometry and internal structures. Very thin cracks and subtle deformations can thus be visualized.
The high brilliance of Synchrotron X-rays enables non-destructive three-dimensional high-resolution analysis of hard elements such as steel, iron and copper.
By understanding the formation of cracks, deformation and other damage, industry can adapt their production processes to improve the final product.
