Electronic parts, terminals, and pins are electroplated with a variety of metals to achieve good corrosion resistance and electrical properties. These metals include gold, silver, palladium, tin, and nickel. Accurate and precise measurement of such plating is critical in achieving the reliability and performance that is demanded from our electronic devices. Accurate and precise measurements yield not only higher quality, but also less waste, thus providing cost savings. XRF measurements also aid in discovering counterfeit electronics (AS6171) and assist with RoHS/WEEE, and high reliability electronics compliance.
