Zusammenfassung:Electrical connector includes a connector housing configured to engage a mating connector during a mating operation. The electrical connector also includes a plurality of electrical contacts coupled to the connector housing. Each of the electrical contacts includes a proximal base coupled to the connector housing and an elongated body that extends from the proximal base to a distal end. The elongated body includes an outer plating that comprises a precious metal. The outer plating forms interstitial regions that define an array of cavities. The interstitial regions form an exterior surface of the corresponding electrical contact that engages a corresponding contact of the mating connector during the mating operation.
