  text: One of the most important factors, which determine the lifetime of gold plated
    electrical contacts is the tribological behavior of gold plate, which can be significantly
    influenced by both the kind and the amount of alloying elements. The lifetime,
    the electrical and tribological properties of electrical contacts with different
    kinds and different amounts of alloying elements are investigated. The results
    of the investigation are used to compare the lifetime, the electrical and tribological
    properties of different modified gold platings. They are important bases for the
    optimization of gold plating. The investigation shows that an increased lifetime
    can be achieved by an optimization ofthe amount of alloy element in gold. But
    the potential for the optimization of the amount of alloy element is limited.
    The modification of the gold plating by means ofnanoscale particles seems to have
    a larger potential. The key issues of nanoscale particles are particle size distribution
    and particle distribution in plating.
