High Power Connector Plating is a metal deposition solution for connector applications. It provides superior adhesion of metal to the base material, along with high impact resistance and excellent corrosion protection. An added benefit of this process is that it eliminates the need for secondary operations, such as etching or plating. This specialized plating process results in a superior connector contact interface and extended product life while still meeting the durability requirements of most demanding applications. Metal deposition solutions provide an economical, efficient method of applying metals to a wide range of components. This technology can be applied to a variety of materials, including plastics, composites, and metal alloys. Additionally, advancements in the process have reduced environmental impacts while producing a higher quality product than traditional plating methods. Metal deposition solutions provide an innovative and cost-effective solution for connector applications.

High Power Connector Plating is a unique process used to plate electrical pins and connectors. It is a process consisting of several steps, including cleaning, plating and polishing. This type of plating offers excellent contact resistance and corrosion resistance, making it a perfect choice for high-power connections. The best connector plating solutions ensure the greatest level of reliability in harsh environments. Metal deposition is often used in the electronics industry to create these long-lasting connections. From wafer level packages to printed circuit boards, metal deposition is an excellent choice when it comes to creating reliable electrical connections. Not only does it offer excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, but it also helps improve the lifetime of the connection. Metal deposition solutions are a great way to ensure that your high power connections are reliable and durable.
