Contact Performance in Relays
5.9 Information Resources on Contact Applications and Materials
The bibliography in Chapter 16 under the listing of "Contacts" provides some
of the literature resources available.
In addition the Proceedings of the NARM RELAY Conference is a useful resource
on relay design. For information on this Conference call or write The
National Association of Relay Manufacturers.
Also, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers sponsors annually
the "Holm Conference on Electrical Contacts" and also an intensive course on
"Electrical Contacts." Contact IEEE Headquarters for information on the
forthcoming Conference of Course, IEEE Headquarters, 445 Hoes Lane,
Piscataway, N.J. 08855. Tel Number 201-562-3863.
In addition, every year the March issue of "IEEE Transactions on Components,
Hybrids, and Manufacturing Technology" publishes key papers from the previous
year's "Holm Conference".
