Metals
All the metals used Weidmüller are
selected and processed with their
surfaces treated according the latest
technical standards.W.
In order guarantee the long-term
solderability (shelf life), the brass parts are
given additional nickel coating
as diffusion barrier. The
surface protection conforms the
highest standards, matched the
special requirements the connection

(RoHS Restriction Hazardous
Substances).
Steels
Steel parts are electrogalvanised and
treated with additional Weidmüller
passivation technique, WInQ®

a coating tin, which creates an
extremely good, “malleable” contact
with low contact resistance. Experience gained from
