  • Selective plating apparatus and method
    Patent number: 9080246
    Abstract: This invention relates generally to an apparatus and method for electroplating selected portions of a connector part, such as a pin or a socket. The selective plating apparatus of the present invention is capable of continuously depositing plating solution on precisely the right contact surface of the connector part irrespective of its shape and center of gravity. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the selective plating apparatus is capable of plating either side of the connector part, such as a pin or a socket, allowing plating of different type of metals on each side of the machined or stamped parts. The parts are handled automatically with minimum physical stress resulting in more consistent and reliable plating deposits.
