Electrical Connector

A genderless electrical connector 10 comprises a pin 12 from which opposing first 14 and second 16 legs extend in the axial direction, parallel to each other, and spaced apart in the radial direction. The legs comprise a distal end 18, a proximal end 20, and a main portion 22 extending between the ends. Each leg comprises an outermost contact surface, which in use is brought into contact to matingly engage with the legs of an identical genderless electrical connector 10. The contact surface of the legs has a rough, non-polished finish. The rough finish of the contact surface may comprise microscopic peaks and troughs, the height of a peak preferably being one nanometre. A genderless electrical connector comprising a pin and opposing first and second legs, in which the distal end comprises a rounded face which slopes radially inward, is also provided. The connector may comprise a collar 30 having a planar face 32. The pin may be a crimp barrel (34, Figure 3).
