What to consider before gold plating
For PCB plating:
The solder mask must
- adhere well to the surface
- be intended for ENIG-plating
- be well developed
- be properly cured
Else, there is a risk that the solder mask detaches from the surface resulting in gold-plating of non-intended surfaces.
For decorative plating:
- Ideally, base material should be made from cupper or nickel. Else, special pre-treatment is needed for the gold to be able to adhere to the underlying surface.
- Details must be free from grease and oil
- Scratches and impurities present before plating will remain visible after plating, why it is often beneficial to polish the detail prior to plating.
- To create the right conditions for plating, we have cooperative partners that can assist with preparing the details with polishing or a pre-cupper layer when so needed. Contact us to find the right solution for gold plating your detail.
