Technical Tin plating - detail page
What exactly is tin plating?
Tinning is the application of a thin layer of tin to metal parts. This is mainly done to improve the corrosion resistance of the parts. Other advantages are better ductility and it facilitates the soldering process (conductivity). Base materials that are classically tinned are copper and brass or other copper alloys.
Applications
Tinning is applied to, among other things, bus bars and connectors. Applications can mainly be found in the electronics and industrial sectors.
