Description

A kind of method for testing porosity of electric connector gold-plating layer
Technical field
The present invention relates to chemical technology field, relate in particular to a kind of method for testing porosity of electric connector gold-plating layer.
Background technology
At present as shown in Figure 1, most electric connector terminals are that aldary 1 is made, and common meeting corrosion in environment for use is such as oxidation, sulfuration etc.In order to prevent aldary 1 corrosion, keep the long-time stability on electric connector Metal Contact surface, often electroplate one deck noble metal-Jin and alloy 3 thereof at electric connector terminal.In addition, for prevent copper 1 with golden 3 mutually counterdiffusion and aldary 1 corrosion product diffuse to Gold plated Layer 3 surfaces, between copper 1 and Gold plated Layer 3, electroplate one deck nickel dam 2.
Because price of gold rises steadily, for reducing cost, Gold plated Layer 3 is thinned to below the 1 μ m gradually, so that Gold plated Layer 3 surfaces are prone to micropore.In the very thin coat of metal, the hole directly possibility by coating is very large, if base metal is exposed to corrosive atmosphere by these holes, hole corrosion will occur, especially under humid atmosphere, Gold plated Layer adsorption moisture, the water-soluble formation electrolytic solution of corrosive gas in the atmosphere or solubility dust, make generation primary element reaction between gold and the base material by micropore, the insulation erosion of generation spreads to surface in contact, finally causes resistance rising and loose contact between the contact.Therefore porosity becomes an important indicator estimating electric connector Gold plated Layer quality.
At present the detection method of Gold plated Layer surface porosity factor mainly is divided into four large classes: 1. gas exposes etch; 2. salt-fog test; 3. electrolysis visualization method; 4. paste filter paper method.

2. salt-fog test
The method is mainly used certain density sodium chloride solution at a certain temperature, the long-time interior spraying that continues.This method is simple to operate, and shortcoming is to need special instruments, and is consuming time oversize, and non-test zone corrosion product easily spreads to test zone and causes porosity to be difficult for accurately calculating in test.At present most productions and use manufacturer estimate quality of coating qualitatively with the method.
3. electrolysis video picture method of testing
The method mainly contains the test of dimethylglyoxime paper Electrolysis, the test of cyclohexanedionedioxime paper Electrolysis.This method is simple to operate, and it is less that assay is affected by operating personnel.Shortcoming is to need special instrument, and its test paper and developer need special the making, and the detection operation that relates to gold plate on the nickel coating is poisonous operation, thereby substantially seldom has now producer to use.
4. paste filter paper method
The method mainly is to adopt CdS filter paper to be attached to specimen surface, calculates hole according to the spot on the filter paper.The method operation is comparatively simple, but employed CdS is hypertoxic, and there is potential safety hazard in experiment operator.
