Surfaces

General Informations

Overview and selection

The PCB surface (final surface, metallization, finish) has the task of protecting the copper of the connection surfaces from oxidation and making it durable for a sufficient period of time to be able to reliably carry out the intended assembly and connection technology (AVT).

Today, connection techniques go far beyond soldering. In addition to the solderability of the surfaces, other requirements must often be met. The following techniques are used:

Surface Soldering US-Bonding (AI) TS-Bonding (Au) Conductive Bonding Press-Fit Technology CIF-Connector Connector Strips Sliding Contacts Inching Contacts Crimping RoHS-Compliance
