Mike,
Very nice explanation as to the application differences between silver and
gold. One aspect of the discussion that may be worth discussing is the
difference in seating/unseating contact repeatability between silver and
gold plating connections. Examples that come to mind are PC Board edge
connectors and the reliability of a pressure contact made on a R.F. roller
inductor. All other things being equal (including plating thickness), is one
type of plating any better than the other for long-term mechanical reasons?
Thanks.
