CTI is Nadcap certified for both Type 2 and Type 3 gold plating. |
|
|
Gold plating is used extensively
throughout the electronics, semiconductor and space industries. The
nature of this noble metal readily lends itself to high reliability
applications for land, sea and space based communications components.
Type II deposits contain hardening agents (i.e. nickel, cobalt) and
are used quite |
commonly for electronic connectors. While Type III deposits
are pure gold (99.9%) and are used in wire bonding and die bonding applications
for hi-rel circuitry. Both types are extremely solderable and conductive
and can be plated (usually with a nickel under-plate) on most common metals.
