Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the selective electroplating of electrical contact elements with which on at least one contact surface metallic base body of the contact elements, an electrolyte is applied to the contains more conductive material than the basic body (report volume on the 2nd EAST Congress, November 1991, Eugen G. Leuze Verlag, Saulgau, 1992, pages 30 to 37).
- Such a method is used, for example, to coat the contact tips of electrical contact elements used.
- bodies made of other metals such as bronze, nickel silver, copper beryllium or stainless steel.
- Suitable metals are preferred Gold and palladium, but also platinum, ruthenium, rhodium, silver, nickel or copper. there In principle, it is always sufficient if only the direct contact area of one Contact element is coated with the more conductive material. Because this given problems for economic reasons with the coating material "gold" on are the most serious, will be - in the following - representative of all other possible materials - explains the galvanic coating of contact springs made of bronze with gold.
- the invention is based on the object of the method described at the outset shape that the consumption of gold can be reduced.
- the gold-containing electrolyte applies directly and only to that coating contact surface of the contact springs. This happens through the feed automatically from above with sufficient pressure.
- the one for a usable one The required thickness of the contact surface is achieved by the elongated plating tip, through which the contact springs all the way along them with electrolyte be charged.
- the supply of the electrolyte from above also leads to one simple structure of the whole arrangement and a simple way of working. Of It is particularly important that no covering elements or components are required become.
- the electrolyte running down comes with the outer surface of the Contact springs hardly touch. There is also none in the interior of the contact springs essential gold plating instead.
- the coating remains i. w. towards the coating contact point limited. Gold consumption is therefore almost to a minimum required measure limited.
- a gold electrolyte is located in an electrolyte chamber 1 serving for distribution.
- a plastic plating tip 3 located below the same, which is connected to the electrolyte chamber 1 is connected via passages, is a plastic plating tip 3 arranged, the more precise structure of which is apparent from FIGS. 3, 4 and 5. It is used for targeted supply of the electrolyte to a contact spring 4, which consists of gold Contact surfaces should be coated.
- the contact spring 4 is the same with a large number Continuous contact springs attached to a carrier strip 5.
- electrolyte chamber 1 is located above the plating tip 3 and the Contact spring 4 is arranged at the lower end thereof. The electrolyte becomes the Contact spring 4 thus supplied from above through the electroplating tip 3.
- the contact spring 4 to be coated in the illustrated embodiment has two arms trained with the two spring halves or arms 6 and 7.
- the curved Arms 6 and 7 have contact tips 8 and 9, which are to be coated with gold. The remaining surface of the contact spring 4 should not be coated.
- the electroplating tip 3 is made of plastic films, for example Mylar consist. However, other chemically resistant plastics can also be used. 3, the electroplating tip 3 is composed of three foils 10, 11 and 12 lying one against the other built up. The middle film 11 is longer than the two side films 10 and 12. Im protruding area are outlet openings 13 for the electrolyte, which over the entire length or width of the plating tip 3 are present. In use position are the outlet openings 13 below.
- the three foils 10, 11 and 12 close from Fig. 4 visible channel-like passages 14, at the lower ends of which Outlet openings 13 are located. They serve to supply the electrolyte to the Outlet openings 13.
- a plating tip 3 consisting of three foils 10, 11 and 12 becomes, for example, like this made that 11 parts are first punched out of the film. The result Any gaps that arise result in the later passages 14. On both longitudinal edges of the film 11 continuous strips are left, so that the film 11 like a kind Double comb looks. Then the two films 10 perforated analogously to the film 11 and 12 laminated onto the perforated film 11 on different sides. Your punched out passages are congruent over the passages 14 of the film 11 4, however, partially cover the passages 14 of the film 11 in the lower region so that the outlet openings 13 remain free. The film 11 protrudes according to FIGS. 3 and 4 beyond slides 10 and 12. When using this plating tip 3, both Contact tips 8 and 9 wetted in the same way by the electrolyte. On both Contact tips 8 and 9 are thus deposited with a layer of approximately the same thickness.
- the length of the plating tip 3 depends on the thickness of the layers to be deposited. It can be a few centimeters long, but also about 1.5 m long. An average value for the length of the plating tip 3 is 800 mm.
- the contact springs 4 to be coated should - as a function of the layer thickness of the coating to be produced - be moved as quickly as possible. They are, for example, at a speed of more than 3 m / min, usually at 12 m / min, moved along the plating tip 3. However, higher take-off speeds are also possible if two or more or a larger number of plating tips 3 are used.
- the plating tip 3 consists of five foils 10 and 12 and 15, 16 and 17.
- the foils 15 and 16 gaps are punched out to form the passages 14.
- the punched foils 15 and 16 are laminated to the inner film 17, while the outer one, too perforated films 10 and 12 are laminated back to the films 15 and 16.
- the electroplating tip 3 are passages 14 on both sides of the film 17 and outlet openings 13 are present.
- the electrolyte becomes the contact tips 8 and 9 fed in separate ways. With such an electroplating tip 3 can two contact tips 8 and 9 layers are deposited with different thickness. Separate electrolyte chambers and different current strengths can be used for this become.
- the contact springs 4 are arranged during the galvanization so that their contact tips 8 and 9 are at the level of the outlet openings 13. So you will, for example, at their Movement in the direction of arrow 18 shown in FIG. 4 along the electroplating tip 3 constantly wetted by the electrolyte.
- the contact springs 4 are preferred forced out. They slide with their carrier strip 5 on resiliently visible from FIG. 7 mounted rope pulleys 19 made of plastic and are also made of plastic existing rails 20 and 21 pressed. These are on the side of the electroplating tip 3 and are equipped according to FIG. 4 with elongated holes 22 for the passage of the electrolyte.
- the contact springs 4 and 4 are above the contact springs 4 and 4 to be coated essentially also arranged above the plating tip 3. As shown in 1 and 6, the electroplating tip 3 protrudes into the electrolyte chamber 1, namely in the connected to the same holder 2.
- the electroplating current flows between contact tips 8 and 9 between the two anodes 23 and 24 and the cathodically connected contact springs 4.
- the anodes 23 and 24 have approximately in their central area elongated holes 25 (Fig. 4) for the passage of the electrolyte.
- the contact springs 4 are operated by the pulleys 19 against the rails 20 and 21 pressed.
- the electrolyte then becomes the one to be coated Contact tips 8 and 9 supplied in the same way and at the same current.
- a 5 there is the possibility that To divide electrolyte chamber 1 into two separate chambers. It can then be for the two Chambers different power sources are used, so that the two Contact tips 8 and 9 are coated with different currents. Result it different layers on the two contact tips 8 and 9 can be used to further reduce gold consumption.
- a thin layer of gold is also deposited on the outside of the contact tips 8 and 9 lying areas of the arms 6 and 7 generated, and also in the interior of the contact springs 4th These are due to the method used with the targeted supply of the electrolyte Layers but very thin. They can be removed by a simple stripping process. The gold can then be recovered using conventional techniques. Not quite avoiding thin coating of the contact springs 4 in places not desired can also be used, for example, only the contact tip 8 directly over the To coat outlet openings 13. Then there are none on the side of the contact tips 9 Outlet openings in a corresponding electroplating tip 3 or there is no electrolyte fed to this page. On the contact tips 9 is also after termination a thin layer of gold.
- the electrolyte runs from the collecting container 26 into a storage tank 27 Carrying out the method, the electrolyte is pumped into the Pumped electrolyte chamber 1.
- a Flow meter 30 may be arranged through which the supplied to the electrolyte chamber 1 Amount of electrolyte can be regulated via a valve 31.
- the device for carrying out the method is shown in a schematic in FIG Reproduced side view.
- Details are shown here contacting rollers 32 and 33, through which the Contact springs 4 connected to the cathode of a rectifier, not shown are.
