Materials

  • Plating of processed flat-stock material (stamped lead frames, contacts)
  • Pre-plating of flat-stock material (semi-finished products) with a thickness of 0.03 to 1.50 mm and a width of 5 to 120 mm
  • Coating of prototypes and loose falling parts
  • Pre-plated flat-stock material
  • Complex 3-D geometries
  • Cu alloys, stainless steels and other unusual base materials

Surface

  • All-over and selective plated coating of semi-finished products and lead frames by spot, strip, immersion and belt methods
  • Producible surfaces: Cu, Ni, NiP, NiW, Sn, Ag, AuCo, AuNi, Au-pure, Pd, PdNi, ROHS Sn, In
  • Pre-plated standard flat stock material
  • Special alloys: SnAg, Indium,
  • Process-specific surfaces for the press-in zone technology: AgSn alloys, Ni-sandwich, Ag/Sn/SnAg)
  • Pre-treatment: Electro-polishing, ultrasonic, electric cleaning, degreasing, pickling, mechanical brushing and tape lamination
  • Post-treatment: Micro-etching, passivation, lubrication and thermal conditioning (reflow)
  • Both-side selective Ag photo-mask, NiPdAu photo-mask (high-precision coating tolerance),
  • Full-Ni with mechanical mask spot Ag or full-Ni with mechanical mask belt Ag (newly installed plating system)
  • Both-side mechanical mask spot Ag and both-side mechanical mask belt Ag

Tools

  • Mechanical selective modules for spot and belt methods
  • Photo-mask selective modules
  • Brush modules for edge-reduced, one-sided plating of hard gold
  • Selective immersion cells, belt cells, spot wheels and belt covers
  • Jet cells for “high-speed” clipping
  • In-house design and manufacture of electroplating modules

Machinery/Equipment

  • More than 40 reel-to-reel electroplating plants
  • Ultramodern prototype system for selective plating
  • Fully automatic rack, drum, Vibrobot systems for single and loose falling parts

Technology highlights

  • Production of highly pure, bondable surfaces
  • Processes with minimized use of precious metals
  • Processes for improving the mold adhesion
  • Long-standing proven processes for producing functional surfaces for the production of specific electrical properties such as corrosion, soldering and welding ability, adhesive-plastic spray characteristics, bending-cutting performance.
  • Plating of press-in zones
