Tin-Zinc Plating: The New DLA-Qualified Replacement for Cadmium
Glenair QwikConnect MagazineApril 2023Volume 27Number 2
Tin-Zinc plating is a RoHS cadmium-free sacrificial surface finish that offers high conductivity and shielding performance, corrosion resistance, solderability, and proven compatibility with legacy cadmium and zinc-nickel finishes. The plating system, which is a chromate-conversion-coated tin-zinc alloy over an underplating of electroless nickel, performs well in SO2 / salt spray qualification testing and is the new gold-standard RoHS-compliant plating material process.
