Gold plating is thinner than nickel plating and may wear faster under the higher contact forces of power circuit connectors. Use gold plating only where signal integrity requires it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What connector housings accept 2.3mm pitch pins?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: 2.3mm pitch pins are used in Molex MX150, Delphi Metri-Pack 280, and equivalent connector housings.
