ECONIDUR PLATING
Sustainable, Reliable, High-Performance, Innovation for a Greener Future.
TE Connectivity presents its ECONIDUR surface plated connector contacts, a breakthrough plating technology designed to replace traditional precious metal layers in contact surfaces. By selecting ECONIDUR plated contacts, you achieve dual advantages: stable performance and measurable sustainability benefits – delivering significant CO₂ emission reductions while maintaining uncompromised quality standards.
What is ECONIDUR Plating
ECONIDUR contacts are plated with a well-designed Nickel-Phosphorous (NiP) plating which uses a sophisticated stack configuration. This is the key to high quality, and superb performance.
Key Benefits, ECONIDUR Plated Contacts Provide 3 Major Benefits
Supporting Your Emission Reduction Strategy
The product carbon footprint (PCF) of the latest ECONIDUR-plating helps to make your footprint greener. The PCF-value decreases heavily for over 44%, supporting greener manufacturing and supply chains.
Targeting the Largest Greenhouse (GHG) Impact – Scope 3 Emissions. Scope 3 emissions represent the most significant portion of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) impact across value chains. TE’s ECONIDUR plating mainly impacts material-related Scope 3 emissions, addressing one of the biggest contributors to corporate carbon footprints.
For High Vibration or Shock Environment
Overall, ECONIDUR plating reaches in minimum the same characteristics as a precious metal plating layer. For fretting and vibration resistance, ECONIDUR plated products are your reliable choice. NiP layers are far from being easy to be applied especially on contact surfaces. If done right – nickel phosphorus.
Quality in Process and Product
Although it is a new plating, the process quality is maintained. For this process, TE developed a noteworthy measurement method to quantify the layer thickness and structures, specifically usable for ECONIDUR based platings.
