“Reliability is critical for both live performance and permanently installed systems. Gold plating provides low resistance and low oxidisation oxidization contacts and extended connection cycle life.”, comments John Hall, managing director. “CLIFF™ Electronics is one of the longest established manufacturers of components and connectors for audio, engineering, instrumentation, medical, lighting and vending applications. We are a recognised recognized market leader in their design, development and manufacture”.
