KANZACC Develops Special Plating; to Make Full Scale Entry into 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 Automobile Market
- 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 company has completed Development of silver-based special plating with drastically improved abrasion resistance -
KANZACC CO., LTD. (main office: Osaka, President: Hisakazu Ishibashi), a member company of 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 Furukawa Electric Group, has completed developing silver-based special plating with improved anti-abrasion performance, and plans to launch 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 technology in 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 automobile market. KANZACC plans to utilize 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 superior features of its range of plating products to increase its plating business sales ratio in 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 automobile market to at least 50% by FY 2018.
Background
Recent improvements in automobile performance have increased 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 number of electrical components used, and with that 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 number of connector terminals for automobiles has also grown. Normally, 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 surfaces of connector terminals are treated to prevent oxidation through such means as plating copper alloys with silver or tin. However, increased insertion/extraction and sliding movements in parts has made it difficult to improve 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 anti-abrasion performance of plated surfaces.
Content
KANZACC has successfully developed and is now mass producing "silver-based special plating," which takes advantage of 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 low contact resistance of silver and drastically improves abrasion resistance. This plating will significantly improve anti-abrasion performance for parts with increased insertion/extraction and sliding movements, such as for use with switch contacts in connectors for automobiles. 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 reduced membrane thickness will also help to reduce materials costs.
Additionally, based on 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 leading-edge technologies 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 company has developed in 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 electronic components sector, KANZACC will officially launch its specialty plating products (such as "No Discoloration Silver Plating(Note 1)" and "Partial Reflow T德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 Plat德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴g(Note 2)") in 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 automobile market. By doing so, 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 company plans to increase its sales ratio for products in this market to 30% by FY 2015 and at least 50% by FY 2018, and to reach 500 million yen in sales in 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 same market by FY 2018.

Features
- Silver plat德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴g with superior abrasion resistance for parts with 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴creased slid德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴g movements such as switch contacts.
- Silver plating thickness is reduced 50% due to 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 anti-abrasion effect, reducing materials costs.
- Capable of preventing short circuits caused by whiskering, increasing connec德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴r reliability.

(note 1)No Discoloration Silver Plat德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴g:
This product is perfect for use as a membrane on contacts for switches, as it is not discolored by sulfuration, and it combines 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 conductivity, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance of silver.
(note 2)Partial Reflow T德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 Plat德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴g:
This reflow tin plating developed by KANZACC is 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 first in 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 world where exposed copper does not discolor. This technology is able to mitigate whiskering (a concern for tin plating that has not been reflow processed), and is used in many electronic components that require high reliability.
