A connector pair includes a first connector, and a second connector electrically connected to the first connector. The first connector includes a first electrical contact part provided with a graphene film on a metal base material. The second connector includes a second electrical contact part electrically connected to the first connector via the graphene film. A contact area between the first electrical contact part and the second electrical contact part is smaller than an area of the graphene film coating the metal base material.

Connector and connector pair

An electrical connection component includes a connecting part that is electrically conductive, and an electrical contact on at least a part of a surface of the connecting part, the electrical contact including a graphene oxide film. The graphene oxide film is graphene oxide or a stack of graphene oxide, and a thickness of the graphene oxide film is 1 nm or more and 50 nm or less. The electrical connection component may be either a male terminal or a female terminal.
