Tin Zinc Strips

Description

Description:

Tin-Zinc strips are a highly versatile and economical material offering excellent corrosion resistance and a bright, solderable finish. This alloy is often used as a lead-free alternative to traditional tin-lead coatings, making it a more environmentally friendly choice for various applications. It combines the solderability of tin with the sacrificial protection of zinc, creating a durable coating that performs well even in harsh environments. The strips are typically manufactured to precise thicknesses and widths, ensuring consistent quality for demanding industrial processes. Their balanced properties make them a preferred material in the electronics and automotive sectors.

Applications:
  • Electronics: Used extensively as a solderable finish on terminals, connectors, and lead frames, providing a reliable electrical connection while protecting against oxidation.
  • Automotive: Applied to components like fasteners, brake parts, and fuel line elements to offer superior corrosion protection, especially against road salts and moisture.
  • Construction/General Industry: Employed in the manufacturing of plumbing components, hardware, and protective casings where a durable, anti-corrosive coating is required.
