When the ambient humidity is high, moisture condenses inside the female connector and mixes with electrolytes in the dust to form an electrochemical corrosion environment, causing oxidation reactions of the metal contacts (such as the formation of copper oxide Cu2(OH)2CO3), significantly reducing conductivity and affecting the service life of the connector. Therefore, how to protect the female connector and improve the service life of the connector is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
