The nickel coating provides effective
protection against the loss zinc

The surfaces are usually given a
coating tin, which creates an
extremely good, “malleable” contact
with low contact resistance. All materials are subjected to
the rigorous quality control measures

Conductive materials
The current-carrying materials copper,
brass and bronze are characterised
by their high conductivity and good
mechanical properties.
The selection, processing and surface
treatment all the metals used by
Weidmüller are carried out according
to the latest technical standards. Environmental compatibility
plays crucial role the selection of
materials. Experience
gained from laboratory tests has
been incorporated into the design of
the surface protection.
Solder connections are also given a
coating tin.
