A connector system for a hybrid motor vehicle, the connector system comprising:

• a leadframe configured to provide an electrical and mechanical connection between a power inverter and a battery system of an electric motor, the leadframe having at least one leadframe alignment feature;
• a shroud configured to connect the leadframe to the battery system, the shroud being removably attached to the leadframe, the shroud having at least one shroud alignment feature, the shroud being removably attached to the leadframe in a predetermined orientation wherein the at least one shroud alignment feature is aligned with the at least one leadframe alignment feature, the shroud comprises:
• at least one connecting feature attaching the shroud to the leadframe, and
• a wall shaped as a hollow cylinder, the wall defining an opening along a height of the wall,
• a bolt extending from the leadframe;
• a power inverter electrically and mechanically connected to the leadframe,
• a battery system connector attached to the shroud,
• wherein the shroud defines a hollow interior within the wall and the bolt extends into the hollow interior, the at least one shroud alignment feature comprises a first shroud alignment feature disposed along a first line and a second shroud alignment feature disposed along a second line, the first and second lines having an angle of about 120 degrees therebetween as measured from a center of the shroud.
