The present disclosure relates to a female connector and a method for manufacturing the same. The female connector coupled with a male terminal unit in which a plurality of male terminals are arranged includes: a housing configured to have one side provided with a male insertion hole into which the male terminal unit is inserted and the other side provided with an insertion groove; a body configured to be inserted into the insertion groove to be coupled with the housing; and a female terminal configured to be formed on a surface of the body and provided with a pattern part electrically connected to the male connector by activating the surface by a laser.

A terminal connection structure includes a male terminal; and a female terminal having an elasticity and configured to have the male terminal fitted therein such that the female terminal sandwiches the male terminal from opposite sides; wherein the male includes a base material, a first primary coat coated on the base material, a second primary coat coated on the first primary coat, and a surface layer coated on the second primary coat, and the first primary coat and the second primary coat have different hardnesses.

The invention generally relates to intravascular imaging catheters and methods of making catheters for imaging systems. The invention provides a connector for an imaging catheter that includes a unitary body with very thin electrical contacts that are formed on the surface of the body. Due to the scale of the contacts, the connector operates essentially as a single unitary piece of material. Each of the leads may be less than about 100 m wide and less than about 8 m thick, and further the leads may be spaced apart by less than about 160 m

The invention discloses an insulating body (1) which is provided for receiving and/or electrically contacting at least one conductor of a cable to be connected or for fitting onto a printed circuit board, the insulating body (1) being adapted to be introduced into a dedicated chamber of a plug connector housing and having at least one recess (11) for at least one contact element (13) which can be connected to the individual conductor of the cable to be connected or to a conductor track of the printed circuit board, and including a shielding element (20) by which the contact element is electromagnetically shielded, the insulating body (1) being formed of at least one first component (2) and one second component (10), the first component (2) containing a doping so that the surface of the first component (2) can be provided with a conducting coating (6) by an electroplating process, the shielding element (20) being formed from the conducting coating of the first component (2).

Disclosed is an electrical connector having: a body made from an electrically conductive material, at least one electrical conductor covered with a layer of electrically insulating material, at least one electrical terminal connected electrically to one end of the electrical conductor, and an insulating insert intended to electrically insulate the electrical terminal relative to the body of the electrical connector, the insulating insert having a first region of electrical continuity covered with a layer of electrically conductive material to provide electrical continuity with the body, and a second region of electrical continuity covered with a layer of electrically conductive material to provide electrical continuity with the electrical terminal, an elastic seal being arranged in a space in which a volume of air inside the electrical connector is liable to be subjected to a difference in electrical potentials between an electrical potential of the body and an electrical potential of the electrical terminal, the elastic seal being in contact with the first region of electrical continuity and with the second region of electrical continuity.

An electric vehicle charging socket for receiving a charging plug is disclosed. The electric vehicle charging socket includes a latch for locking the charging plug to the charging socket, the latch being movable between a release position and a lock position. The electric vehicle charging socket also includes a contact member arranged to be contacted by the latch in the lock position, where the latch and the contact member are at least partially electrically conducting and form part of an electric feedback loop in the lock position.

Methods of coating contacts to have various colors. The color can be selected to match a color of a portion of a device enclosure for an electronic device housing the contacts. Examples can instead provide methods of coating contacts to have a color to contrast with a color of a portion of the device enclosure. These methods can provide electrical contacts having a low contact resistance and good corrosion and scratch resistance.
