Connector assemblies and contacts that can be moisture-resistant, light-weight, space efficient, and can be readily manufactured. The connector assembly can be formed of two or more materials that can be molded together to reduce the chance of leakage at seams between the two materials. One of the two materials can have an affinity for plating materials while the other material can have an aversion to plating materials. The first material can be plated and used as contacts, while the second can resist plating and can be used to separate regions of the first material into two or more contacts.

An electric contact includes a multilayered coating structure. The multilayered coating structure includes an intermediate layer and a top layer arranged on top of the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer includes Bi.sub.3Ni and the top layer includes a plurality of free bismuth grains.

A PCB terminal is provided with a rod-like base material and a plating layer covering a predetermined region of the base material. A constituent material of the base material is a copper alloy containing 20% by mass or more of zinc. The plating layer includes a first coating portion and a second coating portion. The first coating portion includes an entire peripheral layer entirely covering a region on side of a first end part, out of both end parts of the base material, in a circumferential direction of the base material. The second coating portion partially covers a region on side of a second end part, out of the both end parts of the base material, in the circumferential direction of the base material. The entire peripheral layer includes a tin-based layer and a barrier layer.

A memory module socket, including a first member extending between a first end and a second end of the socket, the second end of the socket opposite to the first end of the socket, the first member positioned along a first side of the socket, the first member including: a plurality of first contact pins, each of the first contact pins including a first contact point and a second contact point; a plurality of first resistive coatings connecting two or more of the first contact pins to define first groupings of contact pins; a plurality of first ribs separating each of the first groupings of first contact pins; wherein when the first contact pins are in a first position, the second contact points of the first contact pins are in contact with respective first resistive coatings to complete a termination to ground.

An electrical connector consists of a connector housing (10) and at least one electrical contact element (1). The connector housing (10) and/or the electrical contact element (1) have a lead content of <0.1 weight percent. A method for manufacturing a contact element from a blank which has a lead content of <0.1 weight percent, uses the following method steps: Loading the blank into a manufacturing machine; producing a pin region or a socket region for electrically contacting another, opposite contact element; producing a fixing region for fixing the contact element in an insulating body; producing a crimp region for electrically connecting a conductor to the contact element or finishing the crimp region if the blank has already been previously prepared on a different machine; and removing the finished contact element from the manufacturing machine.
