ABSTRACT:
An electroplating cell includes a chamber which defines at least one elongated slot. The chamber is fixedly mounted in place such that the slot extends along a translation axis, along which parts to be plated are moved. An elongated brush is fixedly mounted in the chamber to pass through the slot in order to wick plating solution from the chamber, through the slot, into contact with the parts to be plated. The slot and the brush preferably define a large aspect ratio in order to provide high precision plating of small selected surfaces in combination with high plating rates. Preferably, the brush includes a dielectric strip, an anode strip, and a fabric sleeve which is stitched to the dielectric strip to hold the anode strip in place.
