Contact material for Corrosion Resistance to Salt Water and Chlorine Water

My company is developing an electronic product for swimming. The charging contacts will be exposed to ocean salt water as well as salt and chlorine pool water.

What would be the best material / finish to resist corrosion?

Hi, Todd. I would think electroless nickel is appropriate.

Ted Mooney is retiring but I have several offers to take it over.
We're working hard to make sure we find it the best new home.
