A. I'm an old hat at tin plating - since about 35 years. Your problem is easily solvable. Kindly furnish the following :
1] Are you carrying out tin plating on the terminal strips yourself? If yes, please let me have full details of the plating process being adopted by you, viz. Is it a bright acid or an alkaline plating bath?
2] What is the base metal of the terminal strips?
3] Details of the pretreatment steps being done presently.
