Gold Plating for Electronics: Connectors and Lead Frames
Gold plating on contacts and lead frames buys stable, low-resistance, wire-bondable surfaces. See where gold earns its cost and how lines control thickness.

Silver plating gives electronics the best conductivity per micron. See where it beats ENIG and tin, the tarnish management it needs, and the equipment that runs it.
ENIG and ENEPIG are the two electroplating-based PCB finishes. Compare structure, wire bonding, reliability and the plating lines behind them.
Copper plating serves electronics, bus bars and undercoating work. See where it fits, how the process runs and what a copper plating line includes.
