1. Reduce contact resistance: During use, copper soft connectors will come into contact with other conductors, such as busbars, current transformers, etc. These contacts generate contact resistance, leading to current loss and heating. Coating can effectively reduce contact resistance, improve the conductivity of flexible copper connectors, and reduce losses.
2. Prevent oxidation and vulcanization: Copper soft connections are prone to corrosion from oxygen and moisture in the air during use, resulting in surface corrosion. Tin plating or other metal layers can effectively isolate air, prevent oxidation and vulcanization on the surface of copper flexible connectors, thereby extending their service life and reducing copper soft connector damage and replacement caused by corrosion.
3. Improving the connection contact surface: Electroplating can not only increase the adhesion of the copper flexible connector surface, but also improve the connection contact surface of the copper soft connector through tin plating and other methods, making it more sturdy and durable.
4. Improve conductivity and decorative performance: The electroplating process can significantly improve the conductivity and decorative performance of soft copper connectors. For direct current, it may not be obvious, but for alternating current, due to the skin effect, most of the current is concentrated on the outer surface of conductive materials. Therefore, electroplating can significantly improve conductivity, reduce losses and heat generation. At the same time, electroplating can also improve the decorative performance of flexible copper connections, making them more beautiful and durable.
