Abstract: A conductor for an electrical connector includes a conductor body extending between a mating end and a terminating end. The conductor body includes a connecting surface at the mating end and/or the terminating end. The conductor for the electrical connector includes an inhibitor encapsulation element that includes a blocking wall extending from the connecting surface. The blocking wall forms an inhibitor well along the mating surface configured to be filled with corrosion inhibitor material. The blocking wall is configured to capture the corrosion inhibitor material in the inhibitor well on the mating surface.
