Was just wondering if these would be classified different than regular gold connectors? They are gold plated copper pins, I have a bunch of them.

Gold plated copper are definitely an entirely different class. (Along with gold plated nickel and brass)

FYI,

Chris said that they were regular gold plated connectors @ .50 pound. Copper doesn't matter.

Good to know. Guess there's still too much plastic ?.

And it doesn't look like that would easy to strip the pins from.

Sorry about that.

Most (I believe as much as 99%) of the pins and sockets that we find housed in those type of connectors are a Cu or BeCu base metal, with Ni, then Au plating. The same goes with the old IDE ribbon connectors and other like components.

I think that you may find steel based connectors in applications were the parts are not housed and need to be more rigid.
