Publish Time: Author: Site Editor Visit: 11
The protective housings on the HE Series currently used in military ground systems use cadmium plating and chrome conversion coatings (CCCs) to provide additional corrosion protection.
The main characteristics of cadmium plating for protective housings of electrical connection equipment include the following:
●Easy to process
●Easy to repair
●Conductivity
●Electromagnetic compatibility (EMI)/Electromagnetic interference (EMI) effectiveness
●Weather resistance, especially corrosion resistance
●Electro-coupling
●Inhibit algae growth
●Low cost
●Lubricity (meets established torsional/tensile requirements)
