ULtra MaxPhase™& Silver MaxPhase™ PVD MaxPhase™ for test probes – harder and sharper MaxPhase™ coatings are more durable and allow more Silver MaxPhase™ performs as plated gold in terms of contact aggressive tip designs for test probes than plated gold and wear resistance, at a significantly lower cost. The PVD and rhodium. The new metal alloy coatings are deposited technique can be used to coat a combination of the two using PVD (physical vapor deposition) coating technology materials on the probe for cost efficiency. suitable for high volume and high quality production. Impact Coatings provides Ultra MaxPhase™ and Silver MaxUltra MaxPhase™ for probe tips has a hardness exceeding Phase™ as a coating service, as well as turn-key PVD 1600 HV, significantly harder than plated rhodium. production equipment. In addition, PVD coated Ultra MaxPhase™ does not suffer from the brittleness of plated rhodium.
