    Here’s a good thread on the subject…with pictures!
    http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/gener...onnectors.html

    And also here’s a good rule that holds true MOST of the time. Not all the time, but most…

    Does your “end” connect data? Example: Cat5, USB, etc. Likely gold connector
    Does your “end” connect power? Example: Two/three-prong plug, plastic ends from a PC power supply, etc. Likely not a gold connector

    I agree with the above and also and I think there is 1 or 2 buyers of the ribbon conn. and about every buyer buys the gold ends.

    When you look at the pic's #3 and #4, I have seen them with gold and without.
