Bright Silver Plating
Specifications: AMS-2410, AMS-2411, AMS-2412, ASTM B700, QQ-S-365
Silver has the highest electrical conductivity of all metals; however, it cannot be labeled as a noble metal. Bright silver is often designated a semi-precious metal because it readily tarnishes, forming silver nitrate or silver sulfide on the surface when exposed to chlorides or sulfides. Bright silver plating is best suited for applications that require high electrical and/or thermal conductivity, lubricity and/or wear resistance in bearing applications, solderability applications and optical reflectivity in lighting and/or LED applications. Currently, silver is one of our most common connector finishes, particularly in automotive connector applications. Surface treatments can be added to extend shelf-life and delay the formation of bright silver tarnish.
Precision Plating offers bright silver plating in each of the following segments of our capabilities: Prototype / Rack / Barrel / Vibratory / Continuous Reel to Reel (Select and Overall)
Matte Silver Plating
Specifications: AMS-2410, AMS-2411, AMS-2412, ASTM B700, QQ-S-365
Primarily used as a wire bondable surface in lead frame, integrated circuit or sensor applications, matte silver is another option for many of our clients. Because a matte silver deposit does not include the metallic hardening agents that are present in bright silver, it is softer than bright silver and not generally appropriate for separable connector applications where wear is an important consideration.
