Tin plating is increasingly used on copper busbars across industries where reliability, conductivity, and long-term performance are critical — from power distribution panels and hospital backup systems to locomotive traction assemblies.

Copper, though an excellent conductor, oxidizes quickly when exposed to air, which can increase resistance and heat generation at joints. Tin plating provides a low-contact-resistance surface, protects against corrosion, and facilitates soldering — ensuring system efficiency and longevity even in humid or corrosive environments.

At Gilt Sterling, we specialize in controlled tin deposition to achieve smooth, uniform layers with excellent solderability and bonding strength. Each busbar undergoes adhesion and thickness verification, meeting the most demanding quality standards.

In critical sectors like healthcare and data centers, tin-plated busbars guarantee reliable connectivity for emergency systems and continuous operations. In locomotives and rolling stock, tin coatings shield against vibration-induced fretting and atmospheric contaminants — preserving safety and electrical integrity.

Gilt Sterling’s matte and bright tin processes conform to industrial specifications and can be customized for appearance, performance, and testing requirements.Our expertise ensures every plated component meets ISO 9001:2015 quality and TNPCB environmental compliance standards.
