Gold contact surfaces are often used on circuit boards with membrane switches which are a technology of choice for industrial, commercial and consumer products. When PCBs will be repeatedly installed and removed electroplated gold is used for edge-connector contacts or as they are more commonly known: Gold fingers.
It is difficult to hear the term Gold finger without remembering the villain Auric Goldfinger from the James Bond film of 1964.
However, the gold fingers (gold-plated contact pins) found on PCBs are quite unlike Auric’s stubby, fat digits.
To begin with, the plating thickness of a PCB gold finger is typically a mere 300 micro-inch. At this thickness the hard gold is expected to survive 1,000 cycles before wear through.
