With the selective plating of wires, we develop new potentials for functional and cost-efficient solutions. Especially in the field of selective gold plating, there are significant savings in material usage without compromising on quality.
We support you from the idea to industrial series product. Working in close partnership, we develop customized solutions with focus on your technical requirements.
Our precious metal plating optimize contact surfaces and electrical behaviour - perfect for high-frequency technology,
long-life connectors and sensitive electronic applications.
Silver (Ag)
Silver is used because of its excellent electrical conductivity and good oxidation resistance. It improves electrical performance and is often used for high-frequency applications or in electronics. It also provides a durable, solder-friendly surface, ideal for plug contacts and connecting elements.
Hard gold (AuCo):
Hard gold is used to create an extremely durable and conductive surface. It offers excellent corrosion and wear resistance as well as high electrical conductivity, making it ideal for highly stressed contacts and applications in electronics. The addition of cobalt increases the hardness and abrasion resistance compared to pure gold. Classification according to ASTM Type I-II, Grade C-D
Fine gold (Au99.9):
Fine gold is used on wires to create an extremely corrosion-resistant, highly conductive and also drawable surface. It is particularly suitable for sensitive electronic applications as it offers excellent contact quality and does not oxidize or lose conductivity. Due to its softness, fine gold is mainly used for applications where no high mechanical loads occur. Classification according to ASTM Type III, Grade A
