Tin plating processes

Tin plating is typically used for electrical applications because of its excelled electrical conductivity and solderability. Typical thicknesses of 5-30um are deposited.

Our tin platings are processed to DEF STAN 03-8/BS1872

Ideal for electrical components

Tin lead plating consists of the co-deposition of a layer of tin and lead on a base part. Tin lead is widely used in the electronics industry for its suitability in the production of components.

What are the advantages of tin plating?

• Melts at low temperatures
• Soldered easily by a wide variety of methods
• Relatively corrosion resistant
• Ductile
• BS6137 and ASTMB579 compliant
