Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gold fingers, in particular to a gold finger and a circuit board. Background Art

[0002] Gold fingers are composed of many golden conductive contacts. They are called "gold fingers" because they are gold-plated and arranged like fingers. Gold fingers are actually a layer of gold on the copper clad board through electroplating. Gold has strong oxidation resistance and can protect the internal circuit from corrosion. It is also highly conductive and will not cause signal loss. Gold has very strong ductility and can make the contact area between contacts larger under appropriate pressure, thereby reducing contact resistance and improving signal transmission efficiency. Because the coating thickness is only tens of microns, it is very easy to wear. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid plugging and unplugging components with gold fingers to extend their service life.

[0003] The gold finger defines the name of each finger according to the protocol. For products with two rows of gold fingers, the current power sheet and ground sheet are also divided into two rows.
