Key Points
• Thermal cycling, vibration fretting, and
contamination create cascading failure modes
that exceed commercial component capabilities
through cumulative stress mechanisms
• Multi-point contact designs and multi-barrier
sealing systems maintain performance under
industrial environmental stresses by addressing
multiple failure modes simultaneously
• System integration approaches prevent
compatibility issues and electromagnetic
interference that emerge when power,
sensing, and communication systems coexist
in harsh environments
• Understanding failure physics enables
specification of connectivity solutions that
provide decades of reliable operation while
supporting future technology integration
