Matte Tin Plating

Midwest Plating Company in St. Louis, MO offers both a matte and bright finish on its tin plating. Electroplating is a process that applies a top coat to electrical connectors—providing exceptional corrosion protection. Depending on your business needs, each finish has its own qualities:

Matte Tin Plating

  • Dull, white finish
  • 100% pure tin
  • Retains original color under high temperatures
  • Typical plating thickness is 200 – 350 microinches and can be tailored to meet customer specifications
  • Contains relatively few additives
  • Larger grain size than bright tin
  • Most ideal for lead-free soldering processes that use higher temperatures
  • Recommended for electronics components when possible
  • Can accommodate sizes up to 150″

Midwest currently runs two rack plating lines for larger parts and a barrel line for smaller parts.
