Differences In Plating Materials On Heavy-duty Connectors
HA Series Different coating materials
Currently, the protective housings of electrical connection devices 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 devices include the following:
● Easy processing
● Easy repair
● Electrical conductivity
● Electromagnetic compatibility (EMI)/Electromagnetic interference (EMI) effectiveness
● Weather resistance, especially corrosion resistance
● Electrical coupling
● Inhibit algae growth
● Low cost
● Lubricity (meets established torsional/tensile requirements)
