IN SITU PLATING OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR CONTACTS

摘要

A method of plating contacts in situ within an electrical connector, the connector having a plurality of contacts circumscribed by a protective skirt of a connector body. The method comprises inserting a grounding member within the connector body such that all of the contacts are interconnected in electrical flow communication by the grounding member, grounding the grounding member such that the contacts are commonly grounded, and applying a brush plated coating onto the contacts within the connector body.
