A method for selectively plating a connector pin, the method comprising the steps of: providing said connector pin; applying a layer of a barrier metal to said connector pin; applying a photo-resist material to said connector pin, then; selectively exposing a portion of the photo-resist material so as to impart a pattern on the exposed portion; removing unexposed photo-resist material; applying a layer of precious metal to the connector pin such that said precious metal layer is applied to the exposed portion only.
