Transition Resistance LiFePO4 Connector

Our customer Armin has professionally measured our 50mm² LFP connector and is more than satisfied.

Here is his conclusion:

Contact resistance of the connectors from pole to pole from 0.14 to 0.12mOhm per connector!

I have now provided the connectors with additional M3 holes for the voltage tap or JKBMS / balancer.

The contact surfaces are coated with graphite paste and assembled with 5Nm.
Previously cleaned both contact surfaces with abrasive fleece and degreased with ethanol.

I measured an amazing value of less than 4mOhm on the entire pack.
That is (what I think) more than OK.

If I subtract the internal resistance of 0.16mOhm measured on the cell during the first charging cycle (16S = 2.56mOhm), about 1.44mOhm remain on 15 connectors.

Only 0.095mOhm are lost per connector, which is a good improvement.

I am more than satisfied and honestly didn’t expect that.

Regards, Armin
