Gold plated connector question

Only the pins on the inside are gold plated, and if low grade connectors, even they might not be gold plated. I have seen both.

I can say for certain that the outside of those connecters is not gold on any of those parts, I made a post somewhere that shows the difference between gold plate and anodized, but I can't seem to find it now. But as other people have suggested, those are anodized and not gold plated.

It's good however that you are questioning everything, nothing is going to get past you. Assume it's all gold, and ask on the forum to make sure what it is, and it's a sure bet you will be not only doing better than someone guessing, but providing other peoples with the information they should be armed with when processing the same material.
