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.

Systems and methods are provided for a wet-mate connector assembly that can include a stiffening material and a dielectric grease retainer for preventing the extrusion of dielectric grease during a wet connect. The wet-mate connector assembly can include a male portion and a female portion that can receive the male portion to form an electrical connection with the male portion. The wet-mate connector assembly can also include a dielectric grease retainer that can be positioned near the male portion and the female portion for retaining dielectric grease extruded from a contact chamber when the female portion receives the male portion. The dielectric grease retainer can seal and insulate the contact chamber. The contact chamber can be defined by an outer diameter of the male portion and an inner diameter of the female portion. The male portion and the female portion can include a stiffening material and an insulating material.
