Abstract
An electrical contact includes a body having a mating segment. At least a portion of the mating segment defines a first conductive element having a three-dimensional (3D) surface. A dielectric layer is formed directly on the 3D surface of the first conductive element in engagement with the 3D surface. A second conductive element is formed on the dielectric layer such that the dielectric layer extends between the first and second conductive elements. The first and second conductive elements and the dielectric layer form a capacitor.
