GOLD PLATED COPPER WIRE
Since the beginning of the electrical age, copper wire has been recognized for its unique and beneficial qualities in electrical applications. Of all the metals copper is after silver the second best conductor of electricity and heat. We now also offer gold plated copper wire.
Gold is most commonly used as a thin plating on connection points. The thin oxide layer that most metals form on their surfaces when exposed to air is not very conductive and can become pitted and uneven from the chemical reactions thus yielding a poor mating surface for a connector. Because it does not oxidize like most metals, gold can provide a reliable smooth surface that can make a good connection with the mated surface.
Gold is also good for extremely thin wires where losing even a small amount of cross-sectional area to oxidation can significantly lower the wires capacity.
To ensure a good adhesion of gold, our round gold plated copper wire is supplied with a silver strike in between the copper wire and gold. Our plating technology secure a uniform coat thickness and the coat thicknesses of gold and silver can be adjusted to meet your requirements.
Shanghai Tianchuang provides gold plated wire for the medical, electronic, aerospace and defense industries.
Copper wire is not redrawn at Shanghai Tianchuang. You are welcome to send your own material to us for plating, or let us arrange material for plating.
