Abstract
A solderable metallized plastic contact includes an element made of a polymer where an electrically conductive material covers a surface of the element so as to form an electrically conductive region on the element. The electrically conductive material is electroplated to the surface of the element. The electrically conductive material in the electrically conductive region is solderable. The electrically conductive material in the electrically conductive region does not delaminate from the surface of the element. Additionally, a method of manufacturing a solderable metallized plastic contact is also disclosed.
