    Abstract: Technologies for applying gold-plated contact pads to circuit boards are disclosed. In one embodiment, an array of gold-plated contact pads is prepared on a flexible substrate. The array of gold-plated contact pads can then be transferred to a circuit board, such as by soldering the gold-plated contact pads to the circuit board. In another embodiment, an array of contact pads are prepared on a top and bottom surface of a substrate, and vias are added to connect the contact pads on the top and bottom surfaces. The top array of contact pads are gold-plated. The bottom array of contact pads are mated to a circuit board. Techniques described herein allow for gold-plated contact pads to be applied to a circuit board without requiring the entire circuit board to undergo a gold plating process, which may reduce manufacturing costs.
