Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes a connector body that is formed of a first dielectric material defining a terminal cavity configured to receive an electrical terminal. The connector body defines a chamber that is separate from the terminal cavity. The chamber contains a second dielectric material that has a lower dielectric constant property than the first dielectric material, such as air. The connector body may be formed by as additive manufacturing process, such as 3D printing, stereolithography, digital light processing, fused deposition modeling, fused filament fabrication, selective laser sintering, selecting heat sintering, multi-jet modeling, multi-jet fusion, electronic beam melting, and laminated object manufacturing.
