Thin flash gold would wear through faster under repeated engagement; at this thickness the contact resistance stays stable across the connector's service life. The IDC termination is a production-speed process: the ribbon cable is pressed onto the forked contacts in one stroke, displacing the insulation and making gas-tight connections on all 64 positions simultaneously. No individual wire stripping or crimping. The feed-through feature in the housing lets the cable exit straight through the back, keeping the assembly profile low in a card cage or enclosure.
