Previously, backshells had to be manufactured of the same material and plated in the same way as the connectors. This resulted in either excess inventory or long lead times. Mixing materials and plating finishes may cause corrosion and a loss of electrical performance. The solution to this problem is the EMCA Black Hybrid Finish.
Product highlights:
- Excellent shielding properties due to selective electroless nickel plating in the mating areas;
- Highly corrosion resistant material due to selectively black non-conductive coating where only mechanical properties are required;
- Eliminating galvanic corrosion due to high performance O-ring sealing in mating areas – different plating finishes are able to be combined as they always interface in dry condition;
- Excellent conductivity and minimal contact resistance;
- No contact corrosion on threads as the coupling ring is anodized and non-conductive;
- Watertight and highly corrosion resistant;
- The impressive black coating on the EMCA hybrid finish is both visually appealing and technically suitable for all common materials and plating finishes.
Benefits:
- Approved on several VG qualified product series (EMCA ‘J’ Plating);
- Designed to reduce inventory as it suits all aluminium based connector finishes (Black zinc nickel, Cadmium Olive Drab, Electroless Nickel, Zinc Cobalt, Nickel PTFE, Tin Zinc…);
- The EMCA black hybrid finish is not only impressive, but unprecedented;
- Best availability and price point;
- 100% ROHS and REACH compliant (replacement for Cadmium);
- 100% German manufactured.
