Other metals like the ones you named have an oxidation problem over time.
Gold does not have that problem and contacts will wear thru thier plating by mechanical usage .
Gold does not oxidize in the normal earth atmosphere.
That's why you can see ancient gold in for instance : Egyptian relics that still shine - no oxidation..
It's nearly a perfect electrical conductor.
There are better ( for the pedantic chemists here)
But gold plated connectors are used by industry for reliability |
