products. Apart
from ensuring consistently good
electrical properties, the tin coating
provides excellent protection against
corrosion.
Solder connections are also given a
coating tin.
The surfaces are usually given a
coating tin, which creates an
extremely good, “malleable” contact
with low contact resistance.

The selection, processing and surface
