Abstract
An electrical high-current and/or high-voltage assembly connector for an assembly of a vehicle, particularly an electrical energy storage device of an electric vehicle, the assembly connector on the one hand being structured in such a manner that it can be or is installed on and in an assembly wall; and the assembly connector on the other hand being formed in such a manner that in the installed state on and in the assembly wall, a connector shield of the assembly connector is electrically conductively connected to the assembly wall, and the electrically conductive connection of the connector shield to an electrically conductive layer of the assembly wall takes place by means of an electrically conductive shield contact adapter of the assembly connector.
Claims20
An electrical assembly connector for an assembly of a vehicle, the electrical assembly connector comprising:
- a housing having a contact receptacle, the housing configured to be received in a connector through-cut in an assembly wall of the assembly, the housing having an inner section arranged at an inner side of the assembly wall, the housing having an outer section arranged at an outer side of the assembly wall;
- a contact held in the contact receptacle of the housing;
- a connector shield coupled to the housing and surrounding at least part of the contact receptacle, the connector shield extending along at least a portion of the inner section and at least a portion of the outer section of the housing such that the connector shield is configured to pass through the connector through-cut in the assembly wall, the connector shield being electrically conductive;
- and
- a shield contact adapter coupled to the housing, the shield contact adapter being electrically connected to the connector shield, the shield contact adapter having a connection configured to form an electrically conductive connection with an electrically conductive layer of the assembly wall such that the shield contact adapter electrically connects the connector shield to the electrically conductive layer of the assembly wall.
A power-electrical assembly for a vehicle, the power electrical assembly comprising:
- an assembly wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, the assembly wall having an electrically conductive layer, the assembly wall including a connector through cut passing through the assembly wall between the inner surface and the outer surface;
- and
- an electrical assembly connector coupled to the assembly wall, the electrical assembly connector including a housing having a contact receptacle holding a contact in the contact receptacle, the electrical assembly connector including an electrically conductive connector shield coupled to the housing and surrounding at least part of the contact receptacle, the electrical assembly connector including a shield contact adapter coupled to the housing, the housing includes an inner section arranged at an inner side of the assembly wall and an outer section arranged at an outer side of the assembly wall, the housing is received in the connector through-cut in the assembly wall, the shield contact adapter is electrically connected to the connector shield, the shield contact adapter having a connection forming an electrically conductive connection with the electrically conductive layer of the assembly wall such that the shield contact adapter electrically connects the connector shield to the electrically conductive layer of the assembly wall, wherein the connector shield extends along at least a portion of the inner section and at least a portion of the outer section of the housing such that the connector shield is configured to pass through the connector through cut in the assembly wall.
