Strip electroplating

Strip electroplating is a special electroplating process that is carried out in a continuous process and is particularly suitable for processing large quantities. This process is primarily used in the electronics industry, where it is used to coat metal strips or wires.

In strip electroplating, continuous metal strips are passed through various electroplating baths in which they are coated with metal layers such as nickel, tin or gold. The process enables a uniform coating and high precision, which is of great importance for the requirements of the electronics industry, such as in the production of printed circuit boards, connectors or contact pins.

The advantage of strip electroplating is that it enables high production speeds and efficient use of materials, which makes it particularly economical. Continuous processing allows large quantities of components to be coated in a short time with consistent quality, which is essential for mass production in the electronics industry.
