    Abstract: An electrical connection includes a first electrical conductor assembly having a first electrical conductor with a first electrical conductor surface and a second electrical conductor assembly having a second electrical conductor with a second electrical conductor surface which is engaged with the first electrical conductor surface such that the second electrical conductor assembly and the first electrical conductor assembly reciprocate relative to each other along a path. The first electrical conductor surface and the second electrical conductor surface provide electrical communication between the first electrical conductor assembly and the second electrical conductor assembly along the path. The second electrical conductor surface has a first area of gold having a first magnitude of hardness which engages the first electrical conductor surface and also has a second area of gold having a second magnitude of hardness which is greater than the first magnitude of hardness.
