Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Question on connector used on servos

Gold is definitely better. Sure, it costs more, but when taken in the
context of the big picture, the difference is negligible. Consider if a
tin connector fails, or worse, is intermittent. What are the costs in
downtime, aggravation, shipping for new parts, etc.

Go for the gold.
