Materials Specification: Cold Reduced Electrolytic Tinplate Steel
Tinplate Standard: TS275E8.4/8.4 EN 10202:2001
The materials used to fabricate these components are based on mild steel with less than 0.12% Carbon and no more than 1% alloying elements and naturally occurring impurities.
Major shielding elements are thus ferrous and tin. The thin resultant layer of tin enables components to be easily soldered to PC boards as well as to resist corrosion during the assembly process.
Tin plate items offer the most cost effective shielding protection provided the following care is taken during storage and handling:
1. Do not pass these components through a salt bath test, they are not designed for such severe treatment. Alternate materials (albeit more expensive) are available.
2. Components should be left in the package trays until assembly to preserve component planarity.
3. Store in a cool dry place and avoid water or other liquids from coming into contact with components.
4. Mild scratching and scuffs are natural for processed components from pre-plated material.
5. Extremely thin film of oil may cover some components. This does not affect soldering and need not to be removed.
Tinplate components constitute over 85% of the materials used in the Masach production program and have been proven effective in their respective applications.
Materials Specification: Cold Reduced Nickel Silver Alloy Strip
UNS C77000 / UNS C73500
Chemical Composition 55%Copper, 27%Zinc And 18%Ni. Major shielding elements in this alloy are copper and nickel. Reflow temperatures are slightly higher than tin plate components and the use of suitable fluxes are needed to avoid excessive oxidation.
Nickel Silver items do not require extra plating due to their good solder ability, attractive finish and corrosion resistance.
1. Components should be left in the package trays until assembly to preserve shield planarity.
2. Store in a cool dry place and avoid water or other liquids from coming into contact with components.
3. Mild scratching and scuffs are natural for processed components from Nickel-Silver material.
4. Extremely thin film of oil may cover some components. This does not affect soldering and need not to be removed.
Nickel Silver components complement the Masach production programme and have proven effective in their respective applications.
