  • memory module edge connectors are typically gold plated copper printed circuit traces, the gold provides corrosion resistance while the copper underneath provides electrical connections to the memory chips mounted on the module (and is much cheaper than gold)
  • the slots the memory modules install into are typically gold plated phosphor bronze springs, the gold provides corrosion resistance while the phosphor bronze (an alloy containing copper, zinc, tin, iron, and phosphorus) underneath provides both electrical connections and a strong springiness that plain copper (a very soft weak metal) could not, ensuring a solid physical/electrical contact with the memory module's contacts.

How can you prevent corrosion in the connectors inside the memory slots on the motherboard?

Clean the module edge connectors with a soft cloth or contact cleaner. Blow or vacuum dust from the memory sockets. Also, to prevent corrosion in the connectors inside the memory slots is by matching tin leads to tin connectors and gold leads to gold connectors to prevent a chemical reaction between the two metals, which can cause corrosion.


Examples of connectors?

There are many examples of conductors such as electricity. Metals and liquids can also be considered a type of conductor.

What are joysticks and memory metals examples of?

Joysticks are examples of input devices used for controlling video games or programs, while memory metals, like Nitinol, are examples of materials that can "remember" their original shape and return to it when subjected to certain conditions.


Is their precious metals in microwaves?

Yes, microwaves can contain small amounts of precious metals, such as gold and silver, primarily in components like circuit boards and connectors. These metals are used for their conductive properties and resistance to corrosion. However, the quantity is typically minimal, so the recovery of precious metals from microwaves is usually not economically viable on a large scale.
