A high-voltage connector assembly and a motor-operated compressor including the same are disclosed. The high-voltage connector assembly according to embodiments disclosed herein may include a cover defining an outer appearance and a shielding plate designed to shield an electrical noise signal. The cover and the shielding plate may be integrally formed by a double shot molding or insert injection molding. Accordingly, manufacturing time and costs of the cover and the shielding plate may be reduced. In addition, the cover and the shielding plate may be coupled to each other in a more stable manner. Further an outer circumferential portion of the shielding plate may have a higher roughness than the cover. Alternatively, the outer circumferential portion of the shielding plate may be provided with a plate protrusion or an uneven portion. Accordingly, a contact area between the shielding plate and the cover may be increased.

A first connector 20 attachable to and detachable from a second connector 70 includes a plurality of first terminal members 21 having tip parts extending in a first direction X1, and a first connector housing 30 for holding the plurality of first terminal members 21. The first connector housing 30 includes side walls 43 having tip parts extending in the first direction X1. The side wall 43 includes a first fitting portion 50 to be convex-concavely fit to a second fitting portion 100 provided in the second connector 70. The first fitting portion 50 is engaged with the second fitting portion 100 in a second direction Y1 intersecting an assembling direction D1 of the first and second connectors 20, 70.

An electrical interface can include one or more connector devices that facilitate communication between components while they are connected. The connector devices can provide a secure communication and/or power link that resists infiltration by foreign object debris (“FOD”) as well as redundant electrical pathways. The connector devices can further provide mechanisms that are lightweight, are operable in a broad range of temperatures (e.g., low temperatures), accommodate displacement without loss of electrical continuity, and are of low resistance and induction. The connector devices can further provide a kickoff force upon separation of the components.

A high voltage connector for an electrical vehicle is provided. The connector comprises a connector portion that includes an electrical pin and a protection member extending from a base and surrounding at least a portion of the electrical pin. The base, protection member, or a combination thereof contain a polyamide composition that includes from about 20 wt. % to about 70 wt. % of at least one polyamide, from about 10 wt. % to about 60 wt. % of inorganic fibers, and from about 10 wt. % to about 35 wt. % of a flame retardant system that includes at least one halogen-free organophosphorous compound. The polyamide composition exhibits a CTI of about 600 volts or more and a V0 rating at a thickness of 0.8 mm as determined in accordance with UL94.

A terminal includes a spine extending along a longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end and extending along a lateral axis, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, from a first edge to a second edge. An attachment portion at the first end provides fixation to an electrical conductor. A contact portion extends from the second end and cantilevers over the spine such that the contact portion is spaced apart from the spine in a direction along a vertical axis which is perpendicular to both the longitudinal axis and the lateral axis. A locking tab extends from the first edge and has a locking tab attachment end which is fixed to first edge and which extends toward, and is aligned with, the contact portion in a direction parallel to the vertical axis. The locking tab also has a free end which flares outward beyond contact portion.

A hermetically-sealed edge-connect header that can withstand high temperatures, high pressures (or high vacuum levels), and high vibration environments, along with two corresponding connectors are disclosed. After brazing the edge-connect header components, the assembly is machined to form a slot with a portion of each of a plurality of electrical conductors removed in the machining process, resulting in a header with a high pin density. During the process of mating the first connector design to the edge-connect header, a plurality of wipers in the connector deflect, thereby causing the wipers to extend from the connector and contact the corresponding electrical conductors in the header. During the process of mating the second connector design to the edge-connect header, each of a plurality of wipers formed of low-mass, compliant metal wool, forms multiple contact points with a corresponding electrical conductor in the header.

A wetmate connector includes a plug and receptacle. The plug includes a plug body and the receptacle includes a receptacle body. The plug includes a recess circumscribing its forward end, adjacent to a coarse alignment feature and rearward of a front surface of the plug body. The coarse alignment feature includes a series of three truncated cones, the first and third of the cones including substantially congruent faces, the first and second cones being joined at their maximum diameter and the second and third cones being joined at their minimum diameter. The receptacle body includes a fastener adapted to cooperate with the recess in the forward end of the plug, to latch the plug and receptacle together when mated.

An ROV, diver, or stab, wet mateable connector plug front end housing includes a housing front section; a locator mount section; and a seal section axially in series with one another. The housing front section includes a plug coarse alignment feature on an outer surface of the housing front section, adjacent to a front surface of the housing front section and radially outward of a central axis of the housing. There is a circumferential groove on the outer surface of the housing front section, axially displaced from and rearward of the coarse alignment feature, the groove being adapted to receive a latch of a wet-mateable connector receptacle front end housing. The plug coarse alignment feature includes a bullnose feature. A plug fine alignment feature is formed in the outer surface of the housing front section, aligned with and located radially outward of the central axis of the housing.
