Abstract

Electric power connectors made with at least one contacting component having a gold contacting surface wherein the gold contacting surface is metallurgically bonded to an underlying layer of nickel or nickel-rich alloy . At the contact surface the gold contains a total of about 1-10% by weight nickel with the amount of nickel generally increasing in the direction from the surface to the underlying metal the increase starting at a point inward of and remote from the contacting surface.
