Abstract
Disclosed is a safety connector which can prevent “latch-up” of a battery management system (BMS) for managing a battery in a hybrid electric vehicle. The BMS connector requires that connectors be inserted into a connector base in a specific order. In particular, a first connector must first be inserted into a first connector insertion port to unlock a locking module disposed between the first connector insertion port and a second connector insertion port before any connector can be inserted into the second connector port.

A battery management system (BMS) connector for a vehicle, comprising:
- a connector base configured to have a plurality of connector insertion ports into which a plurality of connectors are inserted, respectively;
- and
- a locking module configured to be rotated in only one direction while a first connector of the plurality of connectors enters into a first connector insertion port of the plurality of connector insertion ports so that a second connector of the plurality of connectors sequentially enters into a second connector insertion port of the plurality of connector insertion ports,
- wherein the locking module prevents insertion of the second connector of the plurality of connectors into the first connector insertion port, and
- wherein the locking module requires that the plurality of connectors be inserted into the plurality of connector insertion ports respectively sequentially.
