Abstract
An electrical connector may include a connector body having a passageway therethrough. The connector body may include a first layer adjacent the passageway, a second layer surrounding the first layer and comprising an insulative silicone elastomeric material, and a third layer surrounding the second layer. The third layer preferably has a relatively low resistivity, and may also include a semiconductive silicone elastomeric material. In some embodiments, the first layer may also include a semiconductive silicone elastomeric material. The silicone elastomeric material layers may be overmolded.
