Shouldn't each vendor be able to provide you with the necessary information
regarding insertion cycles of their particular connectors?

                Mr. MoonMan,
                   In your infinite Wisdom and Travels can you provide some
clue to this
                request.

                   I am desperately search for
documents/Publications/Studies on number of
                insertion
                mating contacts will withstand.   Hard gold, Au/Ni/Cu, on
PCB fingers is a
                robust
                finished.   It can with stand hundreds of insertion cycles.
However,
                FLASH, Soft
                Gold, will not be that reliable.   Wow about tin lead
surfaces.   I know
                that the
                thickness/Purity  of the surface plating plays a great part.
                   I really need HELP from the DINOSAURS who help made this
a great country.

                victor,
