Spot plating anodes and brush plating anodes belong to titanium platinum-plated anodes, which are used in the plating of electronic components in the semiconductor industry.
The spot plating anode, also known as spot plating mold、spot plating ring, electroplating wheel, spot plating wheel, spray plating head, is a specialized tool used in selective electroplating of specific electronic products on a universal roll-to-roll electroplating machine. The electroplating mold uses ceramic pins to position the lead frame and accurately seals the areas that should not be electroplated with silicone while exposing the areas to be electroplated.
Brush plating is also known as coating or slotless plating. Its principle and essence belong to the category of electroplating process in electrochemical processing. In contrast to electrolysis, metal ions in the electroplating solution are deposited on the cathode under the action of an electric field.
Spot anode:
We can process ringlike anode with the width of 10mm to 100mm, other sizes can be customized.
Brush anode:
We can process this anode with the length of 500-800mm, other sizes can be customized.
Spot anode is a high-speed and economical electroplating method that is suitable for the electroplating of lead frames for ICs, diodes, transistors, connectors, and LEDs etc. Because it can selectively electroplate functional areas, the electroplating area is small, and it can achieve the goal of saving gold, silver and other precious metals.
Brush plating can make the coating more uniform, good density, high finish, enhance the wear resistance of the plated parts, and its working time is short, high efficiency, save raw materials, reduce costs, and makes the output efficiency multiply.
When using platinum-titanium anodes, the following points should be noted:
1. Compatibility: Ensure that the platinum-titanium anode is compatible with the electrolyte and electrochemical system in which it will be used. Different platinum-titanium anodes may have specific requirements and limitations regarding electrolyte composition, pH, temperature, and potential range.
2. Electrical connection: Proper electrical connection is crucial to ensure efficient current flow and good performance of the platinum-titanium anode. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for connecting the anode to the power source or electrochemical cell.
3. Cleanliness: Keep the platinum-titanium anode clean to ensure optimal performance. Remove any contaminants, dirt, or deposits that may accumulate on the surface of the anode. Cleaning methods may vary depending on the specific application and the nature of the contaminants.
4. Handling and storage: Handle the platinum-titanium anode with care to avoid mechanical damage or contamination. Store the anode in a clean and dry environment, protecting it from moisture, dust, and physical impacts.
5. Monitoring and maintenance: Regularly monitor the performance of the platinum-titanium anode during use. Check for any signs of degradation, such as decreased activity, increased resistance, or changes in electrochemical behavior. Perform maintenance or replacement as necessary to ensure reliable operation.
6. Safety considerations: Follow proper safety procedures when handling and using platinum-titanium anodes. Platinum-titanium anodes may contain precious metals, and proper handling and disposal are important to prevent loss or contamination.
It's important to note that the specific considerations and requirements may vary depending on the application, electrochemical system, and manufacturer's recommendations. Always refer to the product documentation and consult with experts or suppliers for specific guidance on using platinum-titanium anodes in your particular application.
