Connector structure

An electricity generating panel connected by a connector structure comprising a connector body having a hollow portion and an axis, the connector body including a male terminal with a tip extending along the axis of the hollow portion, and a female terminal configured to be received by the male terminal along the axis of the hollow portion;

• said connector body comprising a sacrificial electrode, in contact with the male terminal a tip of said sacrificial electrode extends outwardly farther than said tip of said male terminal along the axis of the hollow portion;
• and
• said female terminal comprising a first sacrificial fold and a second sacrificial fold defining a hollow portion having side edges and forming a slit extending along said axis of the hollow portion,
• such that, when said female terminal is fitted with said male terminal, said sacrificial electrode is positioned in said slit between said first and second sacrificial folds and between said side edges thereof.
