What do the gold contacts on a microSD card do?

The gold contacts on a microSD card are the electrical interface between the card and the host device. Gold is used because it resists oxidation and corrosion, ensuring reliable conductivity over thousands of insertion cycles. A standard microSD card features eight contacts following the SD Association specification, handling power, data transfer, and command signals.
