Precious Metal Plating Chemistry for Connector Finishing
Technic supplies precious metal plating chemistry for Connector finishing applications, such as gold, silver, palladium, palladium/nickel and rhodium.

Gold Electroplating
Techni Gold® 800/900
Techni Gold® 800 and Techni Gold 900 are mildly acidic nickel/cobalt brightened gold plating processes, designed to minimize gold porosity in electronic connector plating applications. These products are suitable for use in reel-to-reel and barrel plating applications.

Silver Electroplating
Techni Silver® Cyless® 915-HS
Techni Silver® Cyless® 915-HS is a cyanide-free, semi-bright silver solution for Electronics, particularly suited for medium and high-speed reel-to-reel applications. Extensive testing has shown that Techni Silver® Cyless® 915-HS allows parts to be processed at a comparable plating rate to cyanide-based silver processes, and that samples showed similar contact resistance to cyanide-based plated samples.
Techni Silver® HCD
Techni Silver® HCD is a silver plating solution designed for reel-to-reel, strip and spot plating connector applications, with elevated hardness levels compared to conventional silver. It is suitable as a gold replacement, when used with lubricant-type post-treatment processes.
Durasil® Silver
Durasil® silver provides a hard silver deposit for connector applications. It requires a lubricant for wear-resistant applications.

Palladium Electroplating
Pallaspeed® 990
Pallaspeed® 990 is a chloride-free, low ammonia palladium plating process designed to produce highly ductile, low stress palladium deposits. Suitable for use as an intermediate/barrier layer for high-corrosion resistance applications.

Palladium-Nickel Electroplating
Pallaspeed® Palladium Nickel NFA
Pallaspeed® Palladium Nickel NFA is an ammonia and chloride-free, Pd-Ni alloy plating process for connector applications. The composition of the alloy can be adjusted from 70-90% palladium by changing the metal content.

Rhodium/Rhodium Alloy Electroplating
Techni White Rhodium
The Techni White Rhodium series of rhodium-based finishes is recommended to provide the ultimate in corrosion protection, particularly for satisfying end-user imposed electrolytic sweat test requirements.
