Abstract
Proposed are a connector assembly and a battery module. The connector assembly may include a connector formed so that an external connector is inserted therein through a connector insertion portion formed in a casing, and a cover part coupled to the connector while surrounding an outer peripheral surface of the connector so as to seal a gap between the connector and the connector insertion portion. Accordingly, it is possible to block or delay discharge of a flame through the connector insertion portion of the battery module.

A battery module comprising:
- a battery assembly comprising a plurality of battery cells;
- a busbar assembly comprising:
- an inner terminal connected to the battery assembly and configured to transmit power;
- a tab bus into which a plurality of cell tabs having the same polarity are inserted, and configured to electrically connect the inserted cell tabs to each other;
- and
- a busbar insulating member made of an electrically insulating material and configured to support and fix the inner terminal and the tab bus;
- a casing accommodating the battery assembly and the busbar assembly therein, and having a connector insertion portion into which an external connector is inserted;
- and
- a connector assembly configured to be electrically connectable to the external connector in the connector insertion portion,
- wherein the busbar insulating member comprises a first partition wall protruding in a space between the tab bus and a neighboring tab bus and configured to vertically partition the tab bus and the neighboring tab bus from each other.
