Soft Gold Plating Brightener
Soft gold plating brightener is designed for use in acid gold cyanide baths to produce bright, ductile, low-stress gold deposits with purity of 99.9%+ and excellent wire bonding capability. The brightener controls grain size and surface morphology of the gold deposit to achieve optimal contact resistance and wire bondability for semiconductor and connector applications. Soft gold plating is the standard finish for edge connectors, bond pads, and precision electronic contacts.
