Silver coating on copper conductor: do we need 1-micron coating?

$15.00

Silver/nickel-plated copper conductors are widely used in the cable industry for electronic, aerospace, and defense applications. This paper discusses requirements for high-quality silver-plated copper conductors. The technical background, prior research, and various standards (ASTM, MIL-C-17) are discussed to justify the need. The focus is on continuous 1-micron silver coating, which has been diluted in recent times due to various reasons, primarily cost.
