Abstract:
1. A high voltage and interlock loop assembly comprising: first and second high voltage connector housings complementarily constructed for releasable engagement with each other for having a high voltage circuit running therethrough; first and second connectors for an interlock loop circuit complementarily constructed for releasable engagement with each other; one of said interlock loop connectors being mounted on one of said high voltage connector housings; said first and second interlock loop connectors having complementarily abutment shoulders, one abutment shoulder being a flexible tab; said abutment shoulders abut each other and prevent full engagement when said first and second high voltage connector housings are not fully engaged with each other; and said flexible tab being movable by one of said high voltage connectors to misalign its abutment shoulder from said other abutment shoulder when said high voltage connector housings are properly engaged together to allow full engagement of said first and second interlock loop connectors.
