Electrical connectors are critical components that are often designed to perform under harsh environmental weathering conditions. Traditionally designed electrical connectors are usually aluminum with a plated/coated protective layer; these connectors are prone to corrosion and flaking, which cause issues with electrical conductivity, shell degradation, and also affect the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. EMI shielding failure can result in inaccurate or distorted data [1]. Electrical connectors must operate without any conductivity failure, perform without any resistance discrepancy, and be able to mate and unmate during usage.
