1. A method, comprising:
providing a first connector component and a second connector component, wherein
said first connector component comprises a dielectric first connector component body, a first inner conductor and a first outer conductor,
said second connector component comprises a second inner conductor and a second outer conductor,
said first connector component body comprises an elongate through-hole,
said first connector component and said second connector component are structured such that said first connector component is mechanically engageable with said second connector component,
said first connector component and said second connector component are structured such that, in an engaged state of said first connector component and said second connector component, said first inner conductor contacts said second inner conductor,
said first connector component and said second connector component are structured such that, in said engaged state of said first connector component and said second connector component, said first outer conductor contacts said second outer conductor,
said providing comprises forming said first connector component body, including said elongate through-hole, by an additive manufacturing process,
said providing comprises depositing an electrically conductive material on at least a portion of a surface of said through-hole, and
said electrically conductive material deposited on said surface of said through-hole constitutes at least a portion of said first inner conductor.
