This can be
very important, especially for small currents and low voltages.4. Silver produces moderate diffusion
barrier.2 Gold
The finest surfaces are created with gold plating.3 Nickel
A 5-pm layer nickel applied protect large-surface parts, such earth
panels. This
surface protection sufficient for almost all industrial connectors
applications.
This surface protection used for aggressive environments.023 43.067 15
