High-Performance Immersion Silver Solutions for Advanced PCBs
Enhance conductivity, achieve superior solderability, and ensure long-term reliability with DES’s innovative Immersion Silver plating process.
Immersion Silver
Immersion Silver (ImAg) is a planar, solderable surface finish commonly selected for fine-pitch assembly and applications requiring low contact resistance. It provides flat pad geometry suitable for SMT and signal integrity applications when properly handled and stored. Final performance depends on design, copper condition, storage environment, and assembly processes. Thickness targets and acceptance criteria are applied per customer specification and IPC Class 2 or 3 requirements when specified.
Enhance your PCBs with DES’s advanced Immersion Silver solutions.
Key Principles of Effective Silver Solutions
A precise Immersion Silver plating process is essential for optimizing electrical performance, environmental protection, and manufacturability of PCBs. At DES, we adhere to these six core principles to ensure outstanding results:
Planar surface suitable for fine-pitch and SMT assembly
Low contact resistance for signal integrity applications
Lead-free and RoHS compliant when specified
Available based on design review and customer requirements
Applications
Immersion Silver is commonly used in RF and high-speed digital circuits, fine-pitch surface mount assemblies, commercial and industrial electronics, and aerospace and defense support programs where a flat, solderable copper surface is required.
