Proprietary Technology for Cost-Efficient, High-Quality Electronic Component Finishing
Technic's SBE® (Spouted Bed Electrode) is a proprietary electroplating system specifically engineered for high-precision plating of small electronic components, such as connectors, discs, pins, varistors, SMT chip capacitors, and resistors. Leveraging unique design elements, this advanced technology achieves greater efficiency and precision than any other plating method available today.
How much gold is your process giving away?

The SBE® Gold Savings Calculator turns your own production numbers — part type, plated area, annual volume, and today's gold price — into a dollar figure.
Because SBE plates within ±5 µin of minimum spec instead of the ±28 µin typical of conventional barrels, every micro-inch of excess gold you're no longer buying shows up as savings, often hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.
Proprietary SBE Benefits:
- Unparalleled Part Uniformity: Achieves consistent, high-quality plating across each component.
- Reduces Coupling and Clustering: Proprietary technology minimizes typical issues in other plating methods.
- Efficient Media Use: Requires less conductive media, driving down operating costs.
- Enhanced Production Flexibility: Proprietary chamber design accommodates diverse load sizes.
- Operational Savings: Decreases material and operational costs while reducing part damage and waste.
