Palladium Nickel is a proven, technologically advanced plating material that provides
superior wear resistance, ductility and thermal stability. PdNi + Au-flash plated modular
jacks have successfully passed testing to meet the new durability requirements of
IEC60603-7 PL 2, achieving 2500 cycles over all-gold plated modular jacks that achieve
just 750 cycles. See STR-1340 test report for further details. Due to the lower raw
material costs of Palladium Nickel, Molex is able to offer a superior modular jack at a
more competitive price.
