Their copper RCAs (besides being locking, which eliminates the need for base metal spring rate) are actually an alloy- a fraction of a percent of beryllium or tellurium can make a dramatic difference to the mechanical properties (and can actually influence conductivity by a factor of 10 (relative conductivity change vs. relative composition).The Audioquest BFA bananas (my favorites) are also beryllium copper.
But for an RCA jack, doesn't matter much eh? The plug yes, but the jack no :)
