sulphide layer easily develops its surface.
This surface protection used for aggressive environments. The electrical
conductivity gold significantly less than that silver, but due its
constant contact resistance, used special applications.12 8. The brass contacts are first
plated with 3-pm nickel layer (diffusion barrier) then with 2-pm gold
layer the contact area. The parts are immersed aqueous passivation emulsion.7.7.7.016 61

surface protection sufficient for almost all industrial connectors
applications.

A 5-pm layer nickel applied protect large-surface parts, such earth
panels.

barrier.7. The contacts are silver-plated,
with layer thickness pm. This can be
very important, especially for small currents and low voltages.4 The Specific Resistance and Conductivity Various

Due the thinness the layer, the poor electrical conductivity nickel is
insignificant.
