Embodiments of this application disclose an electrical connector, including at least one first conductive terminal and at least one second conductive terminal, where a first electroplated layer is disposed on an outer surface of the first conductive terminal, a second electroplated layer is disposed on an outer surface of the second conductive terminal, and a material of the second electroplated layer is different from a material of the first electroplated layer. Electroplating costs of the electrical connector are reduced while corrosion resistance of the electrical connector is ensured. The embodiments of this application further disclose a mobile terminal and an electrical connector manufacturing method.
