Plating Materials for Optimal PCB Performance
Plating involves depositing a thin metal layer onto PCBs via electroplating or electroless plating, enhancing electrical connections and component durability. Selecting the right material optimises performance:
-
Copper: Highly conductive, ideal for through-hole and surface plating. Used for traces, pads, and multi-layer connections, it requires protective coatings to prevent oxidation.
-
Silver: Offers superior conductivity and solderability, perfect for high-speed signal transmission and EMI shielding in electronic devices.
-
Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG): Combines nickel and gold layers for corrosion resistance and flat finishes, suitable for fine-pitch components in telecommunications and automotive applications.
-
Electroless Nickel Electroless Palladium Immersion Gold (ENEPIG): Adds a palladium layer for enhanced thermal performance and wire bonding, ideal for high-reliability military and aerospace PCBs.
-
Hard Gold: Provides excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance for high-frequency circuits and connectors, ensuring long-term stability.
-
Soft Gold: Offers ductility and wire bonding capabilities, suited for flexible or repeatedly connected PCBs in aerospace and medical applications.
