The use of electronics in automotive engineering is constantly increasing. Due to their excellent electrical properties, precious metals are often used in the production of the necessary components. But rising precious metal prices, especially that of gold, drive up the costs of a vehicle.

With the innovative spot technology, the gold plating is limited to the really necessary functional area of the component, as the gold is applied at specific points (spots). This technology enables highest precision, not only in the field of punctual application, but also in comparison to other processes by drastically reducing position tolerances, so-called running out areas.
