Background
Plating a thin layer of nickel, tin, gold or alloy coating on electronics parts improves the electrical conductivity. For example the Ni/Au plating process is utilized in the PCB industry to improve the electrical performance of contact area with the purpose to obtain a low electrical contact resistance; good wear resistance and protection against oxidation (corrosion). MAGNETO special anodes can supply both Platinised anodes and Iridium Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) coated Titanium anodes. The optimum anode coating depends on the client specific application requirements. Platinised anodes supplied by MAGNETO special anodes are already being widely used in these processes by various major manufacturers.
