Alternatives To Cadmium
Harsh Environment Connector Plating

This whitepaper explores the transition from traditional cadmium-based connector plating to modern alternatives such as J-Plating, particularly for applications that demand high corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity. It addresses key challenges such as corrosion protection, EMI shielding and meeting RoHS/REACH requirements, while showing how ITT Cannon’s Tin Zinc J-Plating delivers cadmium-level performance with improved environmental compliance.
