Most engineers inherit plating specifications from legacy designs or rely on what is commonly used in their industry for similar applications. But here's the challenge: Do those standards actually validate what your part needs to do in the field?
One of the major benefits of
SAM’s is increased solderability, which is a result of
increased corrosion protection the post-plate process gives the plated component. When precious metal experiences corrosion, it affects anything soldered to the metal. When the metal coating is protected by
SAM’s, however, it resists corrosion for longer periods of time and improves solderability.
