Abstract (en)

A method of metal plating components includes placing a component and a spacer on a brochette, placing the brochette with the component and the spacer on a structure, and placing the structure with the brochette into a metal plating tank having a metal plating solution such that the component is submersed in the metal plating solution. The spacer is configured to mask a portion of the least one component and the component and the spacer are arranged on the brochette such that the spacer prevents the portion of the component from being contacted by the metal plating solution. The method also includes metal plating a surface of the component submersed in the metal plating solution, removing the structure with the brochette from the metal plating solution, drying the component on the brochette, and removing the dried component and the spacer from the brochette. Metal plating systems are also provided.
