Why should the pogo pin connector surface be electroplated?
Nowadays, there is a plating layer on the periphery of commonly used connectors. The thickness of the plating layer of the connector and the material of the plating layer of the connector is determined according to the purpose of the connector. Why do the connectors generally need to be plated with the surface layer?
The electroplating layer on the connector surface can prevent the connector from being oxidized and vulcanized and corroded in the working environment, protect the connector, and prolong the service life of the connector. The electroplated layer on the surface of the connector can improve the ductility, durability, abrasion resistance, and mechanical properties of the connector.
The electroplated layer on the surface of the connector can stabilize the impedance of the connector and make the electrical performance of the connector more stable. The electroplated layer on the surface of the connector can isolate harmful substances in the environment, which not only reduces the damage to the connector but also increases the wear resistance of the connector.
The electroplated layer on the connector surface not only protects the connector but on other hand, improves the performance of some aspects. The electroplated layer is the protector of the normal use of the connector. Nowadays, some connector manufacturers are choosing more stable coating materials that can make the connector work.
