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.

Amphenol ICC (FCI) BergStik® II, 72-position dual-row unshrouded header, 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, through-hole solder termination, 30.0 µinch gold-plated mating contacts, rated 3 A per contact, UL94 V-0 black housing.
