Rhodium vs Gold Connector Plating

rhodium vs gold connector plating

Adding plating to your pogo pin connectors is absolutely essential to improve its conductivity and prevent corrosion over time. There are several coating options available, and we receive many questions from clients about whether they should choose rhodium or gold plating for their pogo connectors. Since we’ve helped tons of customers choose between gold and […]

What is Flash Gold Plating for Connectors? Full Engineering Guide

what is flash gold plating for connectors

Flash gold plating is a super-thin electroplated gold layer. It’s around 3-5 microinches (0.076-0.25 microns) that are placed on connector contacts and pogo pins. Flash gold plating provides corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity at a far cheaper material cost than platinum plating. Adding a thin gold layer to your connector or pogo pin works as […]

The Complete Guide to Connector Plating: Materials, Processes, & Performance Standards

the complete guide to connector plating

Connector plating decides the kind of electrical reliability and lifespan of electronic interconnections. That works across all industries. This electrochemical process puts thin metallic coatings from 0.1 to 5.0 µm in thickness on the connector. It does this to improve conductivity and mechanical durability. It also prevents corrosion. Knowing all there is to know about […]
