A leading diagnostic equipment manufacturer partnered with Precious Plate to improve the reliability of contact pads within disposable testing assemblies. The original plating source struggled to maintain consistent thickness on micro contacts, leading to inconsistent conductivity and calibration failures. Precious Plate engineered a new selective gold-over-nickel plating system that provided precise depth control while ensuring high adhesion strength.
After implementation, the customer reported a 45% reduction in contact-related performance failures and improved yield stability in high-volume runs. The collaboration reduced rejection rates and enhanced long-term reliability of the finished devices.
