Hard-silver solutions connecting
e-vehicles to the future
Hard-silver – Designed to perform under pressure
Energy storage, conversion, and fast-charging processes demand reliable and highly conductive surfaces.
While other connectors must cope with vibrational and temperature-induced stress, fast chargers for
e-vehicles require highly conductive and wear-resistant coatings that can stand up to thousands of mating
cycles. These specific requirements call for silver surfaces that are harder than standard silver coatings
yet do not significantly impair electrical conductivity.
Our hard-silver product portfolio assures both improved wear-off and a low contact resistance that
complies with the needs of connectors for e-vehicles. Our hard silver processes are designed to maintain
a high hardness and better wear off characteristics even under long term heat exposure.
