Electrical connector system

An electrical connector system comprising:

• a base having a housing including a first perimeter wall and a second perimeter wall spaced from the first perimeter wall, the first perimeter wall configured to receive a plurality of cables extending therethrough and defining a first opening configured to provide access for an electrical connection to the plurality of cables, and the second perimeter wall defining a second opening on an opposed side from the first opening;
• a back cover including a plate configured to be secured against the second perimeter wall to cover the second opening when the back cover is in a closed position relative to the base;
• and
• a high voltage interlock system comprising a pair of electrically conductive HVIL pads on one of the back cover and the housing and a pair of electrically conductive HVIL pins on the other of the back cover and the housing, wherein each of the HVIL pads is configured to contact a respective one of the HVIL pins only when the back cover is in the closed position.

• a back cover including a plate configured to be secured against the second perimeter wall to cover the second opening and a seal securement flange extending generally perpendicular from the plate and configured to fit within the second perimeter wall when the back cover is in a closed position relative to the base, the back cover pivotally secured to the base;
• a seal extending around a perimeter of the seal securement flange, retained by and movable with the back cover, the seal configured to be elastically compressed between the seal securement flange and an inner surface of the second perimeter wall when the back cover is in the closed position;
• and
• a high voltage interlock system comprising a pair of electrically conductive HVIL pads on one of the back cover and the housing and a pair of electrically conductive HVIL pins on the other of the back cover and the housing, wherein each of the HVIL pads is configured to contact a respective one of the HVIL pins only when the back cover is in the closed position.
