Electrical Connector

A method for forming an electrical connector, the method comprising:

• arranging a resilient member within an outer sleeve;
• fitting an inner sleeve within the outer sleeve such that the inner sleeve contacts the outer sleeve and can slide relative to the outer sleeve in a first direction, and such that the resilient member is configured to bias the inner sleeve away from the outer sleeve in the first direction;
• forming an insulating layer over a portion of the outer sleeve;
• and
• arranging a grounding layer over at least a portion of the insulating layer such that the insulating layer electrically insulates the outer grounding layer from the outer sleeve.

An electrical system comprising:

• a first electrical component having a grounding terminal and a signal terminal;
• a second electrical component having a grounding terminal and a signal terminal;
• and
• an electrical connector comprising:
• an outer sleeve contacting the signal terminal of the second electrical component;
• an inner sleeve received within the outer sleeve such that the inner sleeve contacts the outer sleeve and can slide relative to the outer sleeve in a first direction, and wherein the inner sleeve of the electrical connector contacts the signal terminal of the first electrical component;
• a resilient member configured to bias the inner sleeve away from the outer sleeve in the first direction;
• an insulating layer covering at least a portion of the outer sleeve;
• and
• a grounding layer covering at least a portion of the insulating layer, wherein the insulating layer electrically insulates the outer grounding layer from the outer sleeve, and wherein the grounding layer contacts the grounding terminal of the first electrical component and contacts the grounding terminal of the second electrical component.
