摘要:
A wet-mate connector assembly can include a male portion having a male electrical contact with a valve metal alloy thereon. The wet-mate connector assembly can also include a female portion having a female electrical contact with the valve metal alloy thereon. The female portion can receive the male portion for defining a fluid flow path therein and can form an electrical connection with the male portion. The valve metal alloy can respond to an electrical charge and a downhole fluid by forming an insulation layer on at least one of the male electrical contact or the female electrical contact in a downhole of a well.
