Copper Alligator Clip – Soft Negative Contact Clamp for Professional ElectroplatingPremium Copper Alligator Clip for Secure and Gentle Electrical Contact During ElectroplatingThe Copper Alligator Clip BMG-019A has been specifically developed for professional use in tank plating, pen plating, and brush plating applications. Designed exclusively as a negative contact clamp (cathode connection), it provides a secure electrical connection to the workpiece while minimizing the risk of surface damage.Manufactured from high-purity copper, the clip offers outstanding electrical conductivity with very low contact resistance, ensuring stable current transfer and consistent electroplating results. The soft copper jaws help protect delicate surfaces by significantly reducing the risk of scratches or pressure marks during clamping.Unlike zinc-plated steel clamps, the Copper Alligator Clip is rust-proof, zinc-free, and corrosion-resistant, eliminating the risk of zinc contamination of the electrolyte or workpiece. This makes it particularly suitable for high-quality precious metal plating processes such as gold plating, silver plating, rhodium plating, palladium plating, platinum plating, and ruthenium plating.Its robust copper construction also provides an exceptionally long service life and can last up to 200 times longer than conventional coated alligator clips under normal electroplating conditions.ApplicationsThe Copper Alligator Clip is ideal for:Tank PlatingPen PlatingBrush PlatingGold PlatingSilver PlatingRhodium PlatingPalladium PlatingPlatinum PlatingRuthenium PlatingCopper PlatingNickel PlatingChromium PlatingCobalt PlatingDecorative electroplatingSelective platingRepair platingSuitable for:JewelersGoldsmithsJewelry manufacturersElectroplating companiesWatchmakersLaboratoriesIndustrial applicationsProfessional workshopsHobby usersProduct BenefitsDesigned specifically as a negative contact clampManufactured from high-purity copperExcellent electrical conductivityVery low contact resistanceSoft copper jaws protect delicate surfacesMinimizes scratches and pressure marksRust-proofZinc-free constructionNo risk of zinc contaminationExtremely durableUp to 200 times longer service life than conventional coated clampsSuitable for all professional electroplating applicationsWhy Use a Copper Contact Clamp?Reliable electrical contact is essential for achieving high-quality electroplated coatings.The Copper Alligator Clip provides:Stable current transferExcellent coating adhesionUniform coating thicknessConsistent plating resultsMinimal electrical lossesGentle workpiece handlingClean precious metal deposits without zinc contaminationBy attaching the clip to a hidden or non-visible area of the workpiece, the contact mark can be kept virtually invisible after plating.Typical ApplicationsIdeal for connecting:JewelryRingsNecklacesPendantsBraceletsEarringsWatch casesEyewear framesCoinsMedalsPrecision componentsPrototype partsEngineering componentsDecorative metal partsCompatibilityThe Copper Alligator Clip is compatible with virtually all electroplating systems and laboratory power supplies.Ideal for use with:Electroplating power suppliesConnection cablesElectrode holdersGraphite electrodesPlatinum electrodesTank plating systemsPen plating systemsBrush plating systemsQuality from Betzmann GalvanikBetzmann Galvanik supplies premium electroplating accessories for professional users worldwide.

PP Copper Electrolyte BMG‑130.1 High-Gloss Copper Plating Solution for Electroplating Applications Short Description The PP Copper Electrolyte BMG‑130.1 is a high-performance electroplating solution for depositing bright, uniform copper layers. It produces thick, glossy coatings suitable for decorative surfaces, functional layers, or as a foundation for further electroplating processes such as nickel or gold. Applications The PP Copper Electrolyte is versatile and can be used for: Electrolytic copper plating of metallic surfaces Protective layers on iron and steel for corrosion resistance Intermediate layer or primer for nickel, gold, or other metals Coating conductive paint on plastics Decorative copper-red finishes Solderable layers for PCBs and electronic boards Its balanced composition makes it suitable for both hobbyist and professional applications in workshops, labs, or industrial environments. How Copper Electroplating Works (Simple Explanation) Electroplating uses direct current (DC) to reduce copper ions from the electrolyte onto the surface: Prepare the workpiece: Clean and degrease. Plating: Connect the workpiece as the cathode; use a graphite or copper anode. Deposition: Copper forms a thick, glossy layer. Post-treatment: Rinse with water and dry – the surface exhibits the characteristic bright copper-red shine. Benefits of PP Copper Electrolyte BMG‑130.1 Bright, uniform, glossy copper layers Thicker deposits than many standard copper solutions Excellent adhesion on conductive substrates Ideal as a base layer for nickel, gold, or other metals Easy to use with graphite or copper anodes Versatile application on plastics with conductive paint Technical Parameters (Guideline Values) PropertyValue / RangeProduct typePP Copper ElectrolyteElectrolyte typeBright copper plating solutionVoltageapprox. 3 V and aboveTemperature14–25 °CCopper content> 60 g/LDeposition rateapprox. 2 µm/min at 3.5 VLayer hardnessapprox. 380–385 HVLayer density8.8 g/cm³Anode materialGraphite or copperApplicationBath, pen, or tampon electroplating Note: Values are practical guidelines; results may vary depending on equipment, voltage, and temperature. Practical Application Instructions Preparation: Clean and degrease surfaces. For non-conductive parts, apply a conductive paint first. Plating: Operate the electrolyte within recommended voltage and temperature ranges. Use graphite or copper anodes for uniform layers. Post-Treatment: Rinse plated parts with water and dry. Light polishing can further enhance gloss if desired.
