An electrical connector includes a male element and a female element configured to form a rivet for fastening the electrical connector to a piece of material; and a neck washer, which has a washer portion and a neck portion and which is configured to be placed between the male element and the female element of the rivet. The washer portion is configured to form an electrical connection area for an electrical conductor of the piece of textile and the neck portion is configured to electrically connect the washer portion to at least one of the male element and the female element. The electrical connector can be used independently of the position of the electrical conductor in relation to one or more layers of materials in the piece of material.

An electrical component includes a connection portion that is to be in contact with other electrical component and is to establish an electrical connection with the other electrical component. The connection portion includes a plating film that defines a surface of the connection portion. The plating film includes a metal as a main constituent and an aromatic compound that is dispersed in the plating film. The aromatic compound has pi-acceptability and causes ligand field splitting equal to or greater than that of 2,2′-bipyridyl in spectrochemical series. A content of the aromatic compound in the plating film is equal to or greater than 0.1 weight percent, in terms of carbon atoms, with respect to the metal of the plating film.

An electrical assembly that includes a substrate having an aperture. A flat conductor is mounted to the substrate and extends over at least a portion of the aperture, with a ring terminal in contact with the flat conductor adjacent to the aperture. A lead wire connects to the ring terminal and is spaced from the substrate, and a fastener extends through the ring terminal and flat conductor, secured in the aperture, and securing the ring terminal against the flat conductor.
