Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical connector for reduction of fluid-induced electrical shorting. Technologies for reducing the risk of fluid-induced electrical shorting in electrical connectors (102) are provided. The electrical connector comprises a non-conductive member interposed between a first end and a second end of the connector that supports electrical contacts configured to conduct an electrical signal through the non-conductive member. The non-conductive member further has one or more peaks disposed on a surface of the non-conductive member between adjacent contacts.

Description

Background technique [0001] Electrical connectors on aircraft may be subjected to changes in atmospheric pressure and temperature, the accumulation of ice, mechanical and wind forces and other environmental factors that may cause moisture and fluids to seep into the connectors, thereby reducing the life of the connectors and generating potential for short circuits, arcing, and / or other connector failures. It is with these and other considerations that the disclosure herein is addressed. Contents of the invention [0002] It should be noted that this Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This summary is not intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter. [0003] Methods, structures, and systems described herein are used to reduce the risk of fluid-induced electrical shorts between adjacent contacts in electrical connectors. The improved electrical conn...
