Your reliabel hard gold PCB supplier

YMSPCB is a professional hard gold PCB supplier in China. We offer a wide range of PCBs widely used in intelligent industuial equipment, entertainment, intelligent AI, education robots, and more.

The YMSPCB hard gold PCB, also know as hard electrolytic gold, has a solid and durable surface. It provides extended shelf life and excellent performance. If you are looking for a highly durable board for high wear application, the YMSPCB is your best choice.

YMSPCB manufactures a hard gold PCB composed of a gold layer with added hardeners to increases durability. Another, using an electrolytic prcess, the board is plated with hard gold. During fabrication, the hard gold pcb als needs to be put with solder effectively.

Depending on your PCB design, we will consider other fabrication processes to ensure functionality and reliability. YMSPCB comes with many competitive advantages over different PCBs.

All YMSPCB hard gold PCB have are ISO cpmpliant, Rohs-certified, and UL-listed. We offer a comprehersive selection of products available in meticulous PCB quality management standards.

To maximize efficiency, you can send us your hard gold PCB drawing early to collaborate with our design and development team.

YMSPCB is capable of providing a one-stop solution for your product development. Being an expert manufacturer, we offer a high on-time rate and urgent delivery on your orders. We will help you maximize your opportunity to rocket your besiness in the market.

Full Body and Selective PCB Hard Gold Plating

The Hard Gold surface finish, also known as Hard Electrolytic Gold, is composed of a layer of gold with added hardeners for increased durability, plated over a barrier coat of nickel using an electrolytic process. Hard gold is extremely durable, so during PCB Fabrication this finish is usually applied to high-wear areas, such as edge connector Gold Fingers and keypads, since the hardness of the finish can withstand repeated use; however, due to the high cost of hard gold, and its relatively poor solder-ability, it is very rarely applied to solder-able areas.

Full Body Hard Gold is generally a rarely-chosen surface finish, where the full body of the PCB board is plated with hard gold. In order to apply a Full Body Hard Gold surface finish, an electrolytic process using an electric current or an immersion process is needed, depending on the PCB design. For Complete PCB Assembly projects, where we fabricate and assemble the boards, we will also need to consider the poor solderability of this finish; a very active flux will be required to solder effectively to the hard-gold-plated pad.

Important properties of hard gold finish

While selecting a hard gold finish, consider the following critical aspects:

Bonding considerations

The soldering of hard gold deposits is challenging due to the presence of non-noble elements like nickel, cobalt, etc. These metals oxidize at soldering temperatures and reduce the strength of the solder joint. Hence, this finish is not suitable for any kind of joining process.

For applications such as ultrasonic wire bonding, thermosonic bonding, etc. ENIG is preferred. The thickness and purity of gold are ideal for these processes.

Apperance

The appearance of hard gold plating is bright because of its refined grain structure. In light of this impression, it is an excellent choice for applications requiring cosmetically pleasing gold contacts, such as visible interconnect applications.

Corrosion resistance

Gold finish minimizes the corrosion resistance of the coating due to the added non-noble elements. It is easily oxidized at elevated temperatures.

Wear resistance

This finish consists of metallic elements like nickel, iron, or cobalt. Due to these elements, deposits develop finer grain structures that are more lustrous and resist sliding wear.

These are some factors that will help you determine the appropriate surface finish.
