Abstract
A low insertion force contact includes a conductive base layer extending to a mating end including a mating interface configured for mating electrical connection to a mating contact. A silver coating layer is provided on the conductive base layer. The silver coating layer is provided at the mating end. A silver sulfide surface layer forms a solid lubricant directly on the silver coating layer. The silver sulfide surface layer forms a film defining a surface of the low insertion force contact having a controlled thickness at the mating interface.
