Abstract

The behavior of gas emissions generated from plastic materials with high resistance to heat was studied by gas chromatography and gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry. The results show the effects of these gas emissions on contact reliability and suggest appropriate means for reducing such emissions. Also, as a result of examination of the organic carbon on the contact surfaces by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, it was found that gas emissions generated from high-heat-resistant plastics do not form any organic membranes on the contact surface
