A wire harness for a charging inlet of a vehicle includes first and second high voltage wires having first and second conductors. An inline disconnect electrically connects the first and second conductors and is configured to allow the conductors to be disconnected. The inline disconnect includes a housing having a central cavity, a first chamber at a first end that receives the first high voltage wire, and a second chamber open to the central cavity at a second end that receives the second high voltage wire. First and second disconnect contacts terminated to the conductors are received in the central cavity. A connecting element couples the first and second disconnect contacts and is removable from the disconnect contacts to allow disconnection of the first and second disconnect contacts to electrically separate the first and second high voltage wires.

A battery module includes a busbar. The busbar that electrically connects electrode leads protruding from an electrode assembly to the busbar. The battery module also includes a busbar frame accommodating the busbar. The busbar is fixed to the busbar frame. The battery module also includes a connection busbar connected to the busbar and a connection bolt connecting the busbar and the connection busbar together. The busbar includes a first screw thread, and the connection bolt is fixed to the first screw thread.

A circuit protection assembly (CPA) is disposed between a source of power and a circuit to be protected. The CPA comprises a mounting block having a bore extending therethrough and a recess cavity on a first surface of the mounting block. A post having a first end is disposed within the recess cavity and a body portion extends through the bore. The body portion configured to receive a terminal and the second end configured to receive a securing mechanism. A fuse having a centrally disposed aperture is configured to receive the body portion of the post and to receive the terminal for connection to a circuit to be protected. An insulator disposed on the terminal and disposed beneath the securing mechanism. The insulator configured to isolate the post from the terminal and the fuse while allowing the securing mechanism to apply an amount of torque.

A grounding clamp includes a plate having a first and second opposite longitudinal edges extending in a first direction, and first and second opposite transverse edges extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal edges in a second direction. First and second cable fastening region extend along the first and second transeverse edges, respectively, and are configured to fasten and electrically contact first and second cables to the plate, respectively. An opening is arranged between the cable fastening regions for inserting a fastener. An arm extends from the first or second longitudinal edge in the second direction so that the arm runs parallel to the first and/or second cable fastening region. A tab extends at a free end of the arm parallel to the first and/or second longitudinal edge and perpendicularly to a plane of the plate in a direction of an underside of the plate.
