Abstract
An electrical connector including an electrical contact and an overmolded housing. The electrical contact includes an electrically conductive substrate of an alloy material and at least one sealing coating on a first section of the substrate. The sealing coating includes chromium and/or zinc. The overmolded electrical connector housing is overmolded onto at least a portion of the first section on the sealing coating. The sealing coating prevents a passage from forming at a joint between the contact and the overmolded housing for preventing flow of vapor and/or liquid and/or other fluid through the joint.
