Problems solved by technology

Since silver is a precious metal, and the silver layer is easily oxidized on the surface of the module, although the electrical performance of the module after silver plating has been improved, its defects are also obvious
The silver-plated module is not only costly, but also the silver-plated layer is prone to oxidation to form silver oxide or silver sulfide, causing the surface to turn yellow or black, and the storage time will be very short under natural conditions (usually only 3 to 6 months), the protection of products containing silver-plated RF passive modules in the production process is also quite troublesome, and the life cycle of the product will also be shortened due to the oxidation of the silver-plated layer

Abstract

The invention relates to a surface processing method for a radio frequency passive module, which is to electroplate a ternary alloy layer of copper, tin and zinc on the surface of the module and comprises the steps of pretreatment, preprocessing, pre copper plating, electroplating ternary alloy of copper, tin and zinc and post treatment. The invention adopts the surface processing method of electroplating the ternary alloy of copper, tin and zinc on the surface of the radio frequency passive module, which replaces the traditional silver plating technique. The radio frequency passive module after surface treatment fully satisfies electrical performance of the radio frequency passive module and at the same time reduces cost. Furthermore, the temperature resistance performance and the anti-corrosion performance are greatly improved, thus the service life of the related communication product is prolonged. Compared with the traditional silver plating technique, the steps of electroplating ternary alloy of copper, tin and zinc and post treatment simplify the processing steps, relatively save the electroplating time and also improve the working efficiency.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the field of surface treatment of communication materials, in particular to a surface treatment method for radio frequency passive modules. 【Background technique】 [0002] RF passive modules (such as duplexers, filters, combiners, splitters, couplers, power dividers, etc., usually made of aluminum materials) in order to achieve good electrical performance (standing wave, intermodulation, loss , attenuation, etc.), generally use silver plating on the surface of the module to improve the electrical performance of the product. Electroplating silver is an indispensable process in the processing of passive modules. After silver plating is completed, the surface of the module will appear bright silver or sub-silver, and a layer of Ni(1~2μ)-Cu(1~5μ)-Ag is usually formed on the surface of the module. (1~7μ) or Cu(1~5μ)-Ag(1~7μ) coating. Since silver is a precious metal, and the silver layer is easily oxidized on the surface of the ...
