Subject: Re: [TN] Zinc Plating Finish
Hi Victor!
What will probably happen is that the Zinc will start to corrode because
of the galvanic action between itself and the tin, or tin / lead. Go to:
http://www.ccfast.com/ccfcorrosion.html
There you will see a Galvanic Series chart, and a simple explaination
about Galvanic action. Zinc, and Tin or Tin / Lead isn't all that far
apart in the chart, but far enough that the Zinc will corrode.
-Steve Gregory-
Fellow TechNetters:
What are the exposures of having or selecting a ZINC plating finish for
an ELECTRICAL CONTACT such as a solder less
crimp connector and straight pin connector. What can occur if these
finishes are mixed mated with a SnPb or Sn finish surface.
Victor,
