A female electrical connector adapted to be lowered down a well on an electrical cable for remote connection to a down hole male connector. The connector includes a housing with an attachment for securing the female electrical connector to the cable, a female electrical contact within the housing, and an insulator disposed between the housing and the female electrical contact. The female electrical contact is in electrical communication with the cable and includes a circumferential ring defining a central axis, and a cantilever finger extending generally axially from the ring. The finger has a first portion extending generally radially inward from the ring, and a second portion extending generally radially outward from the first portion to an axially-directed, distal end. The first and second portions of the finger define therebetween a radially innermost contact surface. The insulator includes an outer shell between the circumferential ring of the female electrical contact and the inner bore of the housing, and an inner lip axially overlapping the distal end of the cantilever finger. The inner lip shields the finger end against engagement with the male connector moving within the female connector. Some embodiments have a wiper seal arranged to wipe debris from the male connector as it enters the housing. Preferred materials and methods of use are disclosed.
