This provides both corrosion resistance and low intermodulation distortion (IMD) characteristics.
-
In 1973, Dr. Otala presented to the Audio Engineering Society a paper in which he described a distortion mechanism called transient intermodulation, or TIM, and which had otherwise gone undetected, apparently because the standard measurements of the day relied overmuch on steady-state test tones (footnote 2).

This improves the intermodulation level, for example IMP3 better than - 125dBm for 7/16 receptacles, and is said to result in better stability than previous connector technology.
