I would like to know if any of the items in these pictures are classified as connector ends. Thanks in advance.

From what I can see, looks like most of them should be good as gold connector ends. I just check to see if there is visible gold in them. If it's only silver-colored or not clearly visible I don't include it with my connector ends.

OP a solid way that I have learned to check for gold pins is to see what the connector plugged into (if available) originally.

For instance on older computers the pins on the motherboard are golden then you can assume the connected that plugged into them has gold pins in them.


I believe I learned this trick from Shark Scrapper in one of his videos. I was always unsure if certain connects had gold pins without breaking open every connect to check. Now I know that trick so I don't have to break each one open. Just a little trick/tip I learned.
