Some Problems Aren't Due to Lack of Power, but Rather "Unreliable Contact"

When I first entered this industry, I also assumed that electroplating simply required massive current.

Later, I realized that wasn't the case at all. Often, the issue isn't whether you have enough current, but rather: is it stable? Going deeper, it comes down to contact resistance. It's an interesting factor; it's not just about getting it as low as possible and calling it a day, but rather—it must be low, and it must be stable.

If it starts "wobbling slightly", trouble usually follows:  

  1. The current fluctuates along with it,  

  2. Localized areas begin to heat up,  Eventually, 

  3. the plating coating becomes uneven.

The most annoying part is that this problem rarely explodes instantly; it acts more like a slow drain that gradually drags you down.

So when we developed this product, our approach was quite straightforward—give it no chance to fluctuate.

  • To what extent? 

  1. Keep contact resistance <1mΩ, which isn't the hard part;

  2. The real challenge is maintaining that exact state over a long period.

Simply put, it’s about making sure the current doesn't have "mood swings".

Once this point is locked down, you notice a distinct change: the plating coating becomes highly "obedient".

However, having said that, there is still another dimension missing—the current doesn't just need to be stable, it also needs to be "clean".
