Weidmüller is a leading international provider of solutions for electrical connectivity,transmission and conditioning of power, signal and data in industrial environments.The company with headquarters in Detmold/Germany develops, produces and sellsproducts in the field of electrical connectivity and electronics all over the world.
Zinc protects against corrosion for long
time even after the zinc coating has been
partially damaged scratches pores.
Solder connections are also given a
coating tin. The
surface protection conforms the
highest standards, matched the
special requirements the connection
systems used and RoHS-compatible
(RoHS Restriction Hazardous
Substances).
Materials
Conductive materials
The current-carrying materials copper,
brass and bronze are characterised a
high conductivity plus good mechanical
properties.
In order guarantee the long-term
solderability (shelf life), the brass parts are
given additional nickel coating
as diffusion barrier.W. Apart
from ensuring consistently good electrical
properties, the tin coating provides
excellent protection against corrosion. The nickel coating
provides effective protection against
the loss zinc atoms from the brass. Experience gained from
storage outdoor test racks different
locations (industrial, marine, tropical and
normal atmospheres) has been incor-
porated into the design the surface
protection. The surfaces are usually given
a coating tin, which creates an
extremely good, “malleable” contact
with low contact resistance. The metal ions the
zinc migrate the steel, which provides
long-term protection for the parent metal.4
