Abstract
This invention discloses a preparation method for precious metal switching contact components by means of plating masking, plating and etching processes. The plating masking process is performed by using a plating mask ink with or without a photo exposure machine. Plating of precious metals is performed by electroless plating or electro plating methods. Etching is carried out with etching solutions containing weak organic acids, weak inorganic acids or acidic buffering agents. Improvement of the etched surface gloss and prevention of the side etching are realized with the sulfur-contained compounds. The dust- and oil stain-resistances of the switch contacts are improved by increasing the etching depth. The switch contacts made by this invention are featured with the advantages of good reliability, good resistance to dust and oil stain, short contact bounce time, long service life, low cost of raw materials and so on.
