Connector and method of manufacture thereof

摘要

A connector comprises a socket portion which is subjected to surface treatment and a base portion which is not subjected to the surface treatment, or comprises a socket portion and a base portion subjected to different kinds of surface treatments. The socket and base portions are each provided with a coupling mechanism. The socket and base portions may be easily surface treated independently, after which they are coupled together, thereby forming a connector capable of preventing short circuit arising from surface treatments.
