7、 shape, area, and condition (including relative cleanliness, smoothness, and hardness); current; open circuit voltage appearing at the contacts during interruption of current; temperature; and thermal conductivity of leads. These factors should be considered in the design of test jigs or clamps, and

It is also important to keep the switch free from vibration and to prevent changes in normal contact force which might result from improper application of connections. Switch resistance values are influenced by factors such as resistivity of the surface
