The thermal contact conductance studies across gold-coated oxygen-free high-conductivity copper contacts have been conducted at different contact pressures in vacuum, nitrogen, and helium environments. It is observed that the thermal contact conductance increases not only with the increase in contact pressure but also with the increase in thermal conductivity of interstitial medium. The experimental data are found to be in good agreement with the literature.
