Abstract

The invention discloses a chemical nickel plating solution for a flexible printed circuit board and a plating construction method thereof. The chemical nickel plating solution for the flexible printed circuit board is characterized in that according to the formula of the nickel plating solution, each liter of the nickel plating solution comprises 20-30 grams of soluble nickel salt, 20-40 grams of a reducing agent, 20-50 grams of fatty carboxylic acid and/or a substituted derivative, 5-15 grams of a buffering agent and 0.5-10.0 grams of ethanediamine and/or a condensation compound thereof, and contains 0.01-10.0 ppm of a sulfocompound. A cylindrical nickel additive and an accelerator are added into the chemical nickel plating solution, the chemical nickel plating solution is plated on the surface of the FPC, a gold layer is deposited by a chemical gold plating solution in a follow-up procedure, after gold in the gold layer is removed by a gold removing agent, a nickel alloy layer is free of cracks under the observation of an electronic microscope, and a flexible nickel alloy layer is obtained. The nickel plating solution provided by the invention improves the flexibility and the corrosion resistance of the nickel alloy layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electroless nickel plating, in particular to a solution for electroless nickel plating on a flexible circuit board and a plating method thereof. Background technique [0002] Flexible printed circuit board (FPC) has been widely used in the current developed communication industry. With the advancement of technology, higher requirements are put forward for FPC production. The traditional surface treatment chemical nickel gold process, because the obtained nickel alloy coating has a layered structure, the deflected part is prone to breakage during the surface mounting process, resulting in the scrapping of the product. The columnar chemical nickel has good ductility and can solve this problem. Columnar chemical nickel is to add columnar growth additives to ordinary chemical nickel solution, so that the nickel alloy coating grows columnar on the copper substrate.
