Example four
The electroplating process of the first to third embodiments of the present application is as follows:
s10, removing oil, and removing oil stains on the surface of the copper base material 17;
s20, activating and polishing to remove the oxide film on the surface of the copper base material 17 and to make the surface of the copper base material 17 smoother;
and S30, electroplating, wherein the electroplating is sequentially carried out according to the plating structures of the first embodiment to the third embodiment.
In this step, the electroplating process includes electroplating copper plating, electroplating nickel or nickel alloy plating (in the second embodiment, two times of electroplating), gold plating, palladium nickel plating, gold plating, and platinum ruthenium plating.
The nickel or nickel alloy plating layer has the capabilities of resisting oxidation and high-temperature discoloration, and the capability of the product for resisting high-temperature oxidation corrosion is effectively improved. The gold plating layer has good adherence performance, the bonding strength of each plating layer and the gold plating layer is good, and the plating layer outside the gold plating layer can be effectively prevented from peeling off and falling off under the action of rapid heating, rapid cooling or impact external force.

In the ground terminal, the power terminal, the high-frequency signal terminal and the conventional signal terminal of the first and second conductive terminals of the electric connector, the power terminal and the ground terminal are mainly used for transmitting large current, and can be selectively electroplated during electroplating to reduce the manufacturing cost. Therefore, during electroplating, the power supply terminal and the grounding terminal are suitable for the technical scheme of electroplating platinum and ruthenium, and the signal terminal can be only plated with gold conventionally.
In experimental verification, the sample 1 is gold-plated, the sample 2 is rhodium-plated ruthenium, the sample 3 is platinum-plated ruthenium, and the plating layer has the same thickness, under the same electrolytic environment, the corrosion resistance of the traditional gold-plated conductive terminal of the sample 1 is only 30 seconds, the corrosion resistance of the rhodium-plated ruthenium of the sample 2 can reach 15 minutes, and the corrosion resistance of the sample 3 of the embodiment can reach 5 minutes. On the other hand, if the cost of sample 1 is set to 1, the cost of sample 2 is 8, and the cost of sample 3 is 4.7. The cost of sample 2 is mainly due to the expensive price of rhodium metal, resulting in a high cost.
In conclusion, on the basis of the performance requirements of customers, the 5-minute corrosion resistance basically meets the performance requirements of most customers, and the rhodium-ruthenium plating scheme with the highest cost has very superior corrosion resistance but very high cost; the platinum-ruthenium solution of sample 3 greatly reduces the manufacturing cost of the product while satisfying the customer requirements, and is an optimal solution compared with sample 1 and sample 2. And the platinum-ruthenium alloy is very hard and has very excellent plugging resistance.
