Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of terminal strip technology, and in particular to a gold-plated strip for welding terminals. Background Technology
[0002] To achieve highly efficient automation in the production, subsequent electroplating, and assembly of conductive terminals, the manufacturing of electrical connectors typically utilizes metal strips. Conductive terminals and connecting strips are stamped out using a continuous stamping die, forming intermediate products. The conveying and positioning functions of the strips then facilitate automated electroplating and assembly. Electroplating is the process of depositing a thin layer of another metal or alloy onto the surface of certain metals using electrolysis. This primarily aims to improve the metal's wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics. Currently, when gold-plating soldered terminals, the entire strip is electroplated before the terminal is removed. This results in material waste on the surface of the connecting strip, increases production costs, and prevents precise gold plating of the terminal contact areas. Utility Model Content
