Gold Flash Mating Surface — Cycle Life for Moderate Duty
The 1-2314822-0: The contact mating finish is gold at 3.94 µinch (0.100 µm) over phosphor bronze base — a light flash that provides corrosion resistance and reliable contact for occasional mating, but not the 500+ cycle endurance of thicker gold. The post finish is tin at 12.0 µinch (0.30 µm), standard for solder-tail wetting and wave-solder compatibility.
