Extreme Exposure

Amphenol RF offers extreme exposure plating options with enhanced durability for a variety of harsh and corrosive environments. These robust connectors and adapters are available in tin nickel and stainless steel plating. Tin nickel plating is RoHS and REACH. Resistance to extreme conditions is achieved by applying alternate plating that can extend the life of the RF interconnect, protecting the base metal from which it was machined, in situations where they are exposed to unfavorable conditions such as marine environments. Stainless steel with gold plating or a passivated finish is another durable solution offering corrosion resistance and in some cases, increased durability supporting many mating cycles.
