Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure relates a subsea female electrical connector (1). The subsea female electrical connector (1) comprises a housing (3) forming a chamber (7), a socket (9) arranged in the chamber (7) and adapted to receive a male conductor rod, a dielectric fluid (11) contained in the chamber (7), and a male connector interface (5). The male connector interface (5) comprises a fluid blocking member (5a), and the male connector interface (5) has a channel (5d) adapted to receive the male conductor rod and guide the male conductor rod into the chamber (7). The fluid blocking member (5a) has a single continuous surface blocking the channel (5d) to thereby prevent fluid from flowing out from and into the chamber (7) through the channel (5d). A subsea connector is also presented herein.
