Electroplated copper wires
Surface finishes
Tin, silver, nickel and gold change the properties of the wire surface. Selection depends on factors including solderability, electrical contacting, corrosion and temperature.
Discuss your project| Coating | Properties | Coating mass | Coating thickness / reference diameter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tin (Sn) | Good solderability and corrosion protection. | 5.4–42 g/kg | 3–24 µm at Ø 1.8 mm |
| Nickel (Ni) | High corrosion and temperature resistance (up to 750 °C); diffusion barrier. | 40–270 g/kg | 18.6–153 µm at Ø 1.8 mm |
| Silver (Ag) | Temperature resistance up to 200 °C and good surface conductivity for high-frequency applications (skin effect). | 3–150 g/kg | 1.15–65 µm at Ø 1.8 mm |
| Gold (Au) | Corrosion resistance, high weldability and chemical resistance. | 1–30 g/kg | 0.07–2.14 µm at Ø 0.06 mm |
