PCB Electroplating: Process & 8 Common Issues

PCBs are crucial across various sectors like aviation, military, and household electronics due to their structural importance. Copper facilitates conductivity for component connections on PCBs, but prolonged exposure to air causes oxidation and solderability loss due to corrosion. Protecting PCBs with specialized technologies is vital. The PCB electroplating process involves multiple steps including acid treatment, copper plating, pattern transfer, and various rinsing stages. Three main electroplating technologies—oxide film, organic coating, and electroplating—are employed, with electroplating being preferred by most manufacturers despite alternatives like oxide film and organic coating.

Properties and Applications of PCB Copper Plating and Nickel Plating

Properties and uses of copper and nickel plating: Copper plating is soft, malleable, and has good thermal and electrical conductivity, primarily used as a base layer in multi-layer plating. Nickel plating quickly forms a thin passivation film for excellent stability in the air, commonly employed in protective-decorative plating applications.
