Product details

At this thickness the contact supports 500+ mating cycles without exposing the nickel underplate — a practical fit for field-service equipment where the board is swapped quarterly over a 10–15 year service life. Gold plating also suppresses fretting corrosion in low-current signal paths (below 10 mA), where tin contacts can form an insulating oxide layer under vibration. For purely power circuits at 3 A, the gold layer is a margin-of-safety choice rather than a necessity.
