Gray ZnNi plating increases harsh environment resistance
Designed for harsh environments, Amphenol Industrial Products Group's standard shell plating has been enhanced from standard cadmium to Gray ZnNi (gray zinc over electroless nickel). This plating was initially designed for use in marine application but is now used in military and industrial applications or where RoHS-compliant plating is required.
Amphenol's Gray ZnNi offers high corrosion resistance and no significant galvanic reaction when mated with leading standard market plating options. This light gun metal gray plating is cadmium-free.
Compatible with market standard plating options, Gray ZnNi is non-magnetic so it can be used safely in magnetic environments in conjunction with a connector shell that is also non-magnetic. It has an operating temperature range from -65 to +200°C.
Mark Cunningham, General Manager, Amphenol Industrial, commented: "Standard cadmium plating can only sustain 96 hours of salt spray and is not RoHS-compliant. Electroless nickel and zinc cobalt can only reach 48 and 96 hours. But, our new Gray ZnNi is rated for 500 hours of salt spray and is RoHS-compliant."
Amphenol's AC Threaded, PT, and GT product lines are currently available in Gray ZnNi plating.
