It does conduct fairly well, but it's not among the very best conductors. One reason that connectors are sometimes plated with gold is that while gold isn't as good a conductor as, say, copper or silver, unlike those metals gold doesn't tarnish, and gold is a much better conductor than copper or silver oxide.

Why does gold conduct electricity?

Gold is a good conductor of electricity because it has free electrons that can move easily in response to an electric field. These free electrons allow for the flow of electrical current through the gold material.
