The present invention discloses a connector and a connector assembly. The connector comprises a housing, a connection assembly, a safety cover and a high-voltage interlock. During mating the connector with the mating connector, when the connection assembly is not fastened, the connection assembly is in a position of interference with the safety cover to prevent the safety cover from being moved from an initial position to a safety position. The safety cover and the high-voltage interlock are slidably connected. When the safety cover is moved to the initial position, the high-voltage interlock is moved to a disconnected position, and when the safety cover is moved to the safety position, the high-voltage interlock is moved to a connected position. The high-voltage interlock is separated from the mating high-voltage interlock before the terminal is electrically connected with the mating terminal, improving use safety of the connector.

A power connector includes a housing including a terminal carrier and an insert matable to the terminal carrier. The terminal carrier includes terminal channels holding power terminals. The terminal carrier includes a pocket aligned with carrier openings. The insert is coupled to the terminal carrier at the pocket and configured to be received in the pocket. The insert includes insert openings therethrough configured to be aligned with the carrier openings when the insert is received in the pocket. The terminal carrier and the insert are molded as a single piece with a bridge connecting the terminal carrier and the insert. The bridge is breakable prior to or during assembly to allow loading of the insert into the pocket and coupling of the insert to the terminal carrier.

An electric compressor including a motor configured to generate power, a compression mechanism configured to compress a refrigerant by receiving power from the motor, an inverter configured to control the motor, a connector connected to an external device, a power line extending from the connector to the inverter to transmit electric power, which is supplied from the external device, to the inverter, and an interlock line extending from the connector to the inverter to transmit a signal to the inverter when the connector is separated from the external device, in which the power line and the interlock line are formed in different ways, thereby preventing insulation breakdown between the power line and the interlock line, easily assembling the power line and the inverter, and easily assembling the interlock line and the inverter.

A connector includes: a housing; a first conductive member housed in the housing; a second conductive member that is housed in the housing and is electrically connected to the first conductive member by fastening a fastening member; a cover that is assembled so as to close an opening of the housing where the fastening member is exposed; and an interlock terminal that is housed in the housing and is connectable and is disconnectable a conduction state between the first conductive member and the second conductive member. In the connector, the cover includes a connecting portion that is electrically connected to the interlock terminal and causes the first conductive member and the second conductive member to be in a conduction state, when the cover is assembled to the housing.

A switch device for a hazardous voltage interlockloop has a first connector, provided at an input end of the hazardous voltage interlockloop; and a second connector, provided at an output end of the hazardous voltage interlockloop. The second connector is capable of being fitted to the first connector; the first connector has a locking lever, the locking lever being pivotably provided on a housing of the first connector, the second connector has a pressing unit, a movable contact, and an elastic unit. When the first connector and the second connector are in a fitted state, the locking lever abuts against the pressing unit. When the locking lever is pivoted to a locked position, the pressing unit moves to a first position in a linked manner, and the pressing unit enables the elastic unit to be in a compressed state, and the movable contact is in contact with a low-voltage detect contact of the switch device. When the locking lever is pivoted to an unlocked position, the pressing unit moves to a second position in a linked manner, and the elastic unit is in an extended state, and the movable contact is separated from the low-voltage detect signal contact.
