Why Choose Tin Plating?
Tin offers clean, wettable surfaces ideal for wave soldering, SMT, and reflow processes—making it a go-to for PCB terminations, connectors, and headers.
Pure tin finishes are fully RoHS-compliant and free of restricted substances—meeting modern regulatory standards across global markets.
Tin plating protects copper and other base materials from oxidation and surface degradation.
We offer matte, bright, and reflow tin plating, as well as tin-lead (60/40 or 90/10) for legacy systems or military applications.
Our plating chemistry and process control reduce tin whisker formation—helping ensure long-term reliability in critical assemblies.
Process Capabilities
Our 24-line reel-to-reel plating facility is built for both volume and precision. Tin and tin-lead can be applied through:
Spot Plating
Tin is applied only where soldering or contact is needed—ideal for selective pad coverage or terminal points.
Selective Stripe (Single/Dual Sided)
Applies tin or tin-lead along designated contact bands, reducing material waste and controlling downstream assembly areas.
Control Depth Plating
We regulate tin thickness precisely to meet solder joint specs and avoid over-plating or bridging.
Overall Plating
Full coverage tin plating for strips, blanks, or leadframes requiring protection and performance across the entire surface.
Every line is monitored using SPC tools and XRF measurement to ensure uniform layer thickness, solderability, and performance consistency.
Tin plating is compatible with the following part types and material formats:
Used in everything from automotive modules to telecom base stations for easy soldering and low contact resistance.
Provides electrical grounding, corrosion resistance, and mating-layer protection on functional metal assemblies.
Supports uniform plating before forming, press-fitting, or secondary processing.
High-speed plating on terminals and contact pins for consistent solder pad performance.
Whether we plate your material or supply and process it end to end, we adapt to your production flow.
Tin plating delivers the solderability, contact stability, and regulatory compliance modern electronics demand—without the cost of precious metals.
