minus-squaregodsammitdam@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up16·1 month agoNah, copper has better conductivity. Gold is better with corrosion resistance and it doesn’t char when making contact. That’s why it’s used to plate terminal contacts, like the ends of hdmi plugs, and switch contacts. Silver is the best.
