Integrated secondary operations like plating, forming, and passivation. <\/p>\t\t\n
In addition to our photo etching services<\/a>, we offer other in-house tin plating and other finishing services for your convenience. Our locally sourced vendors have the highest-quality compliance standards in the business. Because of our long-standing partnerships, they provide quick turnaround services to reduce lead time.<\/p>\n Below are the most common types of plating used on metal etched parts that require an increase in conductivity or solderability, such as etched EMI Shielding, step lids, and lead frames. Please contact us for other plating options and secondary services not listed so we can accommodate your part’s specifications.<\/p>\n\t\t We offer in-house bright and matte tin plating as a supply chain solution<\/a> improve lead times. Tin, a non-toxic metal, is often applied to copper, nickel, and steel electronic components such as board-level shielding, connectors, and contacts. <\/p>\t\t\n The most obvious difference is visual. Matte tin plating has a dull and white Choosing the tin finish depends on the part’s requirements and the intended application. Contact us with any questions you have concerning the tin plating process and how it can enhance the part’s material and performance.<\/p>\n\t\t Another process we offer in-house is electro nickel flash plating. A nickel flash adds a small layer of nickel to the base metal surface. The advantages include better adhesion to a plated material and increased plating uniformity. For example, nickel is usually a base coat under gold plating in many electronic components because it provides extra corrosion resistance, prevents the dispersion of other materials on the surface, and increases the durability of the surface.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t With high ductility and electrical and thermal conductivity it is often substituted for gold to keep costs low and to prevent corrosion and increase strength. Options include a bright or matte finish.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t A chemical process free of electrical currents is used to deposit a nickel-phosphorous or nickel-alloy onto the metal part to prevent corrosion and wear on components. This process provides a more even coverage than Electrolyte plating and includes magnetic properties. <\/p>\t\t\n\t\t A popular choice for electronic components, it decreases corrosion, provides high electrical conductivity, and provides reliable contact resistance. Its reflective property helps cool components during operation.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tIn-House Tin Plating\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\tHow does tin plating enhance photo etched parts?\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

\n\t\t\tWhat are the differences between matte tin and bright tin plating?\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t
appearance, while Bright tin plating is shiny with a reflective surface. Both
compositions are mostly pure tin. However, bright tin has about 10% more organic
material than matte, which gives it that shiny look. We offer a broad range of
plating thickness on both types of tin per individual part specifications and product
usage.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\tMatte Tin Plating:\n\t<\/h4>\n\t
