The master’s thesis discusses different approaches how to assure the quality and reliability of high voltage contactors in automotive industry. In the beginning, the history of the development is described, followed by basic knowledge about materials and magnetic theory used in relays. The main part of the thesis is tests defying to qualify the relays for usage in automotive industry. There are different tests, divided in different groups. Second important part is reliability prediction according to standards used in this area of business. Reliability prediction and calculation of failure rate on different contactors are described in last chapters. Calculation also included influence of different factors on life span of the parts. In conclusion, the results are commented and proposal for development is given based on results of the research.
