Nonlinearities in the conductance of point contacts between a superconductor and a normal metal are considered for applied voltages larger than the energy gap &Dgr;. Voltage dependence of the conductance and the second derivative of the current‐voltage characteristic, resulting from the local electron‐phonon interaction in the contact region, are obtained when electrons move diffusively through the contact, their mean free path being much shorter than the contact dimension d. The conductance nonlinear structure corresponding to peaks of the Eliashberg function is calculated for simple model examples. These results are valid when the inequality &lgr;d2&Dgr;/nD<1 holds, where &lgr; is the electron‐phonon coupling constant and D is the electron diffusion coefficient. The second derivative, d2‖/dV2, is obtained for voltages near the values corresponding to Van Hove singularities of the phonon density of states.
