Please tell me you didn't use ENIG for the USB connector. It would be sacrilege.

- dmitrygr 2y agoI am just a lowly software guy who pretends to know how to use EAGLE. To me “ENIG” just means “5% more expensive boards”. What did I miss?
- Neywiny 2y agoENIG is gold coated not solid gold so it'll wear off and the metals under it will likely corrode. I think the majority of my USB connectors I eventually see wear marks on them.
- dmitrygr 2y agoI see. These contacts are just lead-free-solder coated, and thus is easy to re-apply with a soldering iron if they start wearing.
