RoHS Connector Platings | PEI-Genesis

RoHS Platings

Ever since the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive was adopted by the European Union over 11 years ago, it’s continued to grow as a standard in the electronics industry to restrict the use of dangerous substances. This is driving more environmentally conscious interconnect application design increasing demand for compliant platings, such as:

  • Black Zinc Nickel
  • Nickel Teflon
  • Conductive Zinc Cobalt
  • Zinc Cobalt
  • Stainless Steel
  • Electroless Nickel
  • Anodized

PEI Application Engineering experts see markets such as oil & gas, mining, transportation and aerospace continuing to push for increased corrosion resistance, conductivity and overall cost performance while at the same time requiring compliance with RoHS. All of these trends will continue to drive manufacturers to offer more plating options as well as invest in development of new innovative plating technologies.

Aesthetics is also becoming a factor in plating selection. Although always secondary, in certain applications there are preferences for black plating options.

Many harsh environment applications are requiring platings that can withstand a minimum 500 Hour exposure to Salt Spray. Refer to the RoHS compliant plating characteristics listed below to make the right selection for your application.

PEI-Genesis offers the complete range of high performing, RoHS compliant plating options.
