Hi Cheryl,
It is common practice to do electrolytic plating without buss bars. Involves
masking off parts of the flex and additional cost and steps but it is a
common practice. Good luck. Steve Kelly

Subject: [TN] electroless gold thickness'


I believe I have seen this somewhere, and have tried searching the archives,
but am having trouble finding it.

Does anyone know of any processes for electroless gold that can obtain > .5
micron thickness (without needing bus bars?)
Or any way to get > .5 micron gold on a flex without bus bars?

Thank you!

Sincerely,
