High voltage connector thermal crash and vibration shield

An environmental management system including an electronic enclosure comprising:

• a printed circuit board having a first electrical connector wherein the first electrical connector aligns with an opening in the electronic enclosure;
• an electrical cable having a second electrical connector for coupling to the first electrical connector;
• and
• a tubular cable shield having a flange end and a clamping end wherein the second electrical connector is positioned within the flange end and wherein the flange end is mechanically affixed over the opening in the electronic enclosure creating an environmental and thermal barrier around the second electrical connector and where the clamping end includes a cable clamp assembly for restraining the electrical cable.

A method of providing an electrical cable support and heat shield comprising:

• inserting an electrical cable through a tubular cable shield having a flange end and a cable clamping end;
• affixing a first electrical connector onto the electrical cable protruding from the flange end of the tubular cable shield;
• coupling the first electrical connector to a second electrical connector positioned in an opening in an electronics enclosure;
• mechanically affixing the flange end of the tubular cable shield over the opening in the electronics enclosure such that an environmental a barrier is created around the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector;
• and
• clamping the electrical cable with a cable clamp assembly affixed to the cable clamping end of the tubular cable shield such that the electrical cable is restrained by the cable clamp assembly.
