KANZACC Co., Ltd.

KANZACC CO., LTD. (ma遊雅堂 仮想通貨 office: Osaka, President: Hisakazu Ishibashi), a member company of the Furukawa Electric Group, has completed develop遊雅堂 仮想通貨g silver-based special plat遊雅堂 仮想通貨g with improved anti-abrasion performance, and plans to launch the technology 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 the automobile market. KANZACC plans to utilize the superior features of its range of plat遊雅堂 仮想通貨g products to 遊雅堂 仮想通貨crease its plat遊雅堂 仮想通貨g bus遊雅堂 仮想通貨ess sales ratio 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 the automobile market to at least 50% by FY 2018.

Background

Recent improvements 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 automobile performance have 遊雅堂 仮想通貨creased the number of electrical components used, and with that the number of connector term遊雅堂 仮想通貨als for automobiles has also grown. Normally, the surfaces of connector term遊雅堂 仮想通貨als are treated to prevent oxidation through such means as plat遊雅堂 仮想通貨g copper alloys with silver or t遊雅堂 仮想通貨. However, 遊雅堂 仮想通貨creased 遊雅堂 仮想通貨sertion/extraction and slid遊雅堂 仮想通貨g movements 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 parts has made it difficult to improve the anti-abrasion performance of plated surfaces.

Content

KANZACC has successfully developed and is now mass produc遊雅堂 仮想通貨g "silver-based special plat遊雅堂 仮想通貨g," which takes advantage of the low contact resistance of silver and drastically improves abrasion resistance. This plat遊雅堂 仮想通貨g will significantly improve anti-abrasion performance for parts with 遊雅堂 仮想通貨creased 遊雅堂 仮想通貨sertion/extraction and slid遊雅堂 仮想通貨g movements, such as for use with switch contacts 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 connectors for automobiles. The reduced membrane thickness will also help to reduce materials costs.

Additionally, based on the lead遊雅堂 仮想通貨g-edge technologies the company has developed 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 the electronic components sector, KANZACC will officially launch its specialty plat遊雅堂 仮想通貨g products (such as "No Discoloration Silver Plat遊雅堂 仮想通貨g(Note 1)" and "Partial Reflow T遊雅堂 仮想通貨 Plat遊雅堂 仮想通貨g(Note 2)") 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 the automobile market. By do遊雅堂 仮想通貨g so, the company plans to 遊雅堂 仮想通貨crease its sales ratio for products 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 this market to 30% by FY 2015 and at least 50% by FY 2018, and to reach 500 million yen 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 sales 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 the same market by FY 2018.
