Abstract

An electrical connector includes at least one base body with at least one contact portion and at least one connection portion. The connection portion is provided for fastening an electrical conductor. The base body is made of a first material, and a layer of a second material is arranged in a surface area of the contact portion. An electrical connector that ensures reliable electrical contacting even under heavy mechanical stresses is realized by applying the layer of the second material by means of roll cladding or an additive manufacturing process.
