On Reliability of Twined Connections

There are considered the basic induces of the reliability of electric connections made according to the method of twining, the indices obtained as a result of tests and proces sing the statical data on failures. It is shown that with prolonged functioning (for over 35 thousand hours) of these connections under normal conditions their transient resb stance does not practically change, but the effort of tightening the twining increases on the average the intensity of failures during the period of the absence of the wear and-tear failures is not more than $0,15\cdot 10^{-9}$ connections per hour.
