Black Zinc Nickel: Everything Goes with Black

Black Zinc Nickel is not only a durable and effective option for RoHS-compliant connector plating, it’s also visually appealing. The importance of attaining RoHS compliance continues to grow, and as it does, Black Zinc Nickel is growing in popularity as a plating option for connectors that were traditionally cadmium.

Black Zinc Nickel plating is extremely robust, making it perfect for D38999s, which have to endure very harsh environments and still perform at their peak. In addition to being RoHS compliant, Black Zinc Nickel plating is approved for up to 500 hours of salt spray exposure, matching the performance that traditional cadmium provides. It is also military-qualified and conductive for EMI (electromagnetic interference) shielding, making it a suitable choice for harsh-environment communications applications.

PEI-Genesis assembles custom Black Zinc Nickel plated MIL-DTL-38999 connectors manufactured by Amphenol, ITT Cannon and TE Connectivity DEUTSCH, as well as Amphenol’s 62GB, PT and Rhino series. For any application that requires a rugged connector that is RoHS compliant, Black Zinc Nickel plating should be considered.
