It provides the best combination of mechanical and electrical properties. BeCu will retain its shape under a wide variety of conditions once formed and set.</p><ul><li>Phosphor Bronze</li></ul><p>Phosphor bronze is the base metal used in most Samtec connectors. The metal is stronger than brass and has better spring properties however, it is not considered a better option compared to BeCu and therefore not used as much.</p><h3>Why are some connectors plated?</h3><p>You may notice some connectors are plated Gold. Gold provides better corrosion protection, improved electrical conductivity, increased durability, ease of application, excellent heat resistance, and is nonmagnetic.</p>
