minus-square@ic33@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish23•1 year agoGold is a worse conductor than copper. The benefit is just protection from corrosion. (Copper conductivity is 6 * 10^7 S/m, gold is 4*10^7 S/m. Silver is 6.3 * 10^7, but very prone to corrosion).
minus-square@AnObscureTenet@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink16•1 year agoThe conductivity doesn’t mean a damn thing when it’s plating some shit-tier alloy. That corrosion resistance though… more than worth the price. I made that mistake on some monitors once. ONCE.
