NOVELTY - The subsea female electrical connector (1) has a housing (3) that forms a chamber (7), a socket (9) arranged in the chamber and that receives a male conductor rod, a dielectric fluid (11) contained in the chamber, and a male connector interface (5) with a fluid blocking portion (5a) and a channel (5d). The channel is adapted to receive the male conductor rod and guide the male conductor rod into the chamber and socket. The fluid blocking portion has a surface blocking the channel to prevent fluid from flowing out from and into the chamber through the channel.    USE - Subsea female electrical connector for subsea electrical connector (claimed) used to provide power to subsea machinery e.g. pump and compressor used in oil and gas industry such as subsea high voltage direct current (HVDC)/high voltage alternating current (HVAC) power transmission and power distribution system, offshore power generation such as wind energy, tidal energy, wave energy, and ocean current energy.    ADVANTAGE - Enables subsea mating with corresponding male electrical connector while maintaining dielectric properties of both the subsea female electrical connector and male electrical connector post-mating. Obtains efficient removal of any water in the space created between two connectors since dielectric fluid contained in the chamber is utilized to flush the male connector with which female electrical connector mates to remove water from the interface between female and male connectors. Obtains simpler and more reliable underwater female electrical connector design due to fluid blocking portion having single continuous surface blocking the channel. The subsea female electrical connector is protected from water when lowered subsea through the fluid blocking portion. The annular seal allows dielectric fluid to flow from the chamber and pass through the channel when dielectric fluid in chamber is subject to overpressure as a result of the male conductor rod deforming and rupturing the fluid blocking portion and penetrating the chamber, while preventing fluid such as sea water to enter the female connector. Provides simpler and more robust design of the female connector since fluid blocking portion extends along the entire cross-sectional dimension of subsea female electrical connector in level with the male connector interface. The dielectric fluid is biodegradable so that dielectric fluid flushed out from the chamber of female connector into sea water is biodegraded to minimize sea water contamination. The ruptured fluid blocking portion is exchanged for new, intact fluid blocking portion without having to disassemble the subsea female electrical connector in case the subsea female electrical connector is to be reused for additional mating after disconnection from subsea male electrical connector since fluid blocking portion is arranged at the end of channel which is furthest away from the chamber.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method of connecting a subsea female electrical connector (1) and a subsea male electrical connector.
