Electroplating Electronics Parts:
Contacts, Connectors, Switches, & More.

Precision Electroplating Electronic Parts to meet performance demands.

Electroplating Electronic Parts with extremely high level of plating control has become synonymous with the name Summit Plating. That’s because Summit skillfully controls surface enhancement results using Gold Plating, Silver Plating, Tin Reflow Plating, and more.

Our expertise in Electronics Plating field includes a proven ability to carefully control plating chemistry, plating thickness, and the most intricate plating coverage. Collectively, this control of important variables allows us to meet the spec-meeting tolerances and consistency required in the manufacturing of complicated electronic parts. We provide dependable consistency enhancements through: the Electroplating of Loose Parts like  connectors, conductors, switches and contacts; the plating of Continuous Form Parts like semiconductors and circuit panels; and even Electroplating on Round Electrical Wire requiring one or surface coatings to meet mandated specifications for size, conductivity, and durability.

Our unique ability to deliver such trusted surface consistency starts at the very beginning of an electroplating project. We bring true expertise to every part of the process — including surface preparation and substrate cleaning. During this stage, we skillfully prepare parts so they will “become one” with the selected plating material or materials. These important preparatory steps are all performed using environmentally friendly, highly effective procedures. Our Quality-Assurance is also present to confirm end results prior to the start of actual electroplating.

Summit Plating Electroplates Electronic Parts for some very selective industries.

Summit Plating has developed and perfected many proprietary electroplating processes to deliver exceptional functional enhancement, finish diversity, and cost economies. Through our proprietary processes, we enhance the performance of continuous-stock, individual loose parts, and round wire for industries where tolerance are performance critical. Industry sectors that we Electroplate Electronic Parts for include Aerospace, Automotive, Medical, Communications, Battery, Gas & Oil, and more.

Plating and finishing metals most commonly used for electronics part plating include:

Summit clients benefit from our decades of experience in selecting the best electroplating coating based on end-application variables.  We know that beyond with electrical conductivity, there are many other factors that must be considered. So we provide valuable input for choosing between Silver, Gold and other surface-enhancing materials that may provide economies or additional value. Our news article titled  “Gold Plating vs Silver Plating: Best Choice for Conductivity” sheds further light on this important topic.

For customers looking to improve durability and function using Tin or Nickel, our article “Compare Tin Plating to Nickel Plating” offers valuable insight on that topic.

Metals we commonly use when Electroplating Electronic Parts include:

Gold Plating: Providing superior solderability, strong bonding characteristics, and most notably— very low contact resistance

Silver Plating: Providing excellent thermal conductivity and lubricity, along with superior electrical conductivity

Nickel Plating: Providing excellent wear and corrosion resistance, and serving as an effective barrier layer

Tin: Providing exceptional solderability and good corrosion resistance

Tin/Lead Alloys: Providing tin-associated characteristics without problematic “tin whisker” protrusions.

Typical components we have plated for use in the Electronics industry include:

• Electric transistors
• Conductors and semi-conductors
• Electronic power switches and rheostats
• Circuit contacts components
• Connectors and fasteners
• Computer components
