More about the gold electroplating process
Gold is the ultimate precious metal for electrical contact plating. And for that reason, the electrodeposition of gold is used extensively in electrical contacts, connector pins, switches, sensors and other applications where electrical contact occurs.
- Gold will not form surface oxides.
- Gold conducts low voltage currents for long periods of time without corrosion or failure.
- Gold provides good wear resistance, especially when combined with cobalt or nickel.
Precious Plate offers:
- Hard gold plating – gold alloyed with trace amounts of cobalt or nickel for durability in connectors
- Soft gold plating – for applications that require purity
- Wire bondable gold – ultra-pure 24-karat gold plating
