Abstract
An electrical connector and method of forming the same are provided, where the method can include affixing at least one layer to a core such that the layer is isomorphic to at least a portion of on an external surface of the core, press fitting the core with the layer into a socket cavity in a socket body, and removing the core from the socket cavity while leaving at least a portion of the layer so that the layer forms a shell layer affixed to an internal surface of the socket cavity. The method can further include inserting at least one plunger and a biasing device into a shell cavity so that a tail of the plunger is slidably received in the shell cavity and the biasing device biases a tip of the plunger away from an internal surface of the shell cavity.
