SEALING CONNECTOR TO MITIGATE CORROSION

摘要

An electrical connector system for mitigating corrosion and maintaining an internal environment conducive for connectivity and the protection of internal electrical contacts is disclosed. The electrical system can include a female connector device designed to couple with a male connector device, and to enclose a chamber containing a corrosion deterring fluid. One or more electrical contacts can be located within the chamber, and be configured to interface with connecting members of a male connector device. The electrical connector system can also include one or more sealing gates configured to act as a sealing membrane that is designed to separate the corrosion deterring fluid in the chamber from fluid external to the chamber while allowing the connecting members of the male connector device to be inserted through the gates and into the chamber.
