1. An electrical connection comprising:

  • 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 said first electrical conductor surface such that said second electrical conductor assembly and said first electrical conductor assembly reciprocate relative to each other along a path, said first electrical conductor surface and said second electrical conductor surface thereby providing electrical communication between said first electrical conductor assembly and said second electrical conductor assembly along said path;

    wherein said second electrical conductor surface has a first area of gold having a first magnitude of hardness which engages said first electrical conductor surface and also has a second area of gold having a second magnitude of hardness which is greater than said first magnitude of hardness and which engages said first electrical conductor surface.
