Titan Plating provides specialised plating services for microwave and radio frequency (RF) components, ensuring high-performance solutions for advanced technologies like 5G networks, IoT devices, and satellite systems. Our precision coatings enhance the reliability and functionality of critical components such as filters, mixers, switches, and amplifiers.
Importance of Plating for Microwave and RF Components
As microwave and RF technologies advance, the demand for high-quality plating grows. Components in these systems require robust electrical connections and circuitry to perform reliably under high-frequency conditions. Titan Plating’s services deliver:
-
Enhanced corrosion resistance
-
Improved electrical conductivity
-
Reduced component friction
-
Enhanced aesthetic appeal
These benefits ensure optimal signal transmission and long-lasting performance in demanding applications.
Silver Plating for Microwave and RF Components
Silver is a cost-effective, lightweight, and highly conductive precious metal, making it ideal for plating microwave and RF components. Its low melting point and excellent thermal and electrical conductivity support high-current applications and reduce passive intermodulation (PIM) distortions. Silver plating also minimises intermodulation distortion (IMD) and mitigates the skin effect, improving RF signal transmission.
Addressing Silver Plating Challenges
Silver can develop an oxide film when exposed to substances like ozone or sulphur, potentially affecting performance. Titan Plating counters this through passivation, applying a protective metal oxide coating to prevent corrosion. Using pure silver electroplating, rather than alloys, further reduces oxidation rates, ensuring durable, high-quality finishes.
