All that glitters…

Anomet Products Inc has launched composite clad metal gold wire and gold alloy wire, considered superior to electro-plated wire for a wide range of electronic applications. Anomet Gold and Gold Alloy composite wire and strip are clad over copper and copper alloy substrates and metallurgically bonded. They have a smooth, consistent surface finish, with greater ductility and formability than electroplated products. Functionally equivalent to solid products, these clad metal products are designed for high-reliability electronics such as micro-switches and rotary connectors.

conductive, solderable, formable, and corrosion-resistant.

Typically incorporating 2 percent or more cladding thickness, both wire and strip are uniformly dense and will not crack or flake. Sizes start at 0.002″ (0.05mm) outside diameter. Anomet Gold and Gold Alloy composite wire and strip are typically a tenth of the cost of solid precious metal products.

They are also suitable for fabricating coils and hermetic devices, being
