Surface Treatment｜Glossary
This section is part of the Coaxial Connector Glossary for RF and coaxial systems.
What Is Surface Treatment?
Surface treatment refers to processes applied to a material’s surface to improve its properties or appearance.
It is used to enhance characteristics such as corrosion resistance, durability, and electrical performance.
Common surface treatments include plating, passivation, and coating processes.
Surface treatment plays a critical role in the performance and longevity of connectors.
Surface Treatment in RF and Coaxial Connectors
In RF and coaxial connectors, surface treatment is essential for maintaining electrical performance and environmental resistance.
Proper treatment improves conductivity, reduces contact resistance, and prevents corrosion.
Materials such as gold, silver, or nickel plating are often used depending on the application.
Selecting the appropriate surface treatment is important for achieving reliable long-term performance.
