Patent ID: 10923863

Abstract:
A high voltage connector, connected to a device, that experiences a reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI), avoids galvanic corrosion of dissimilar metals within or without a fluid environment, and provides an effective electrical ground system. The connector includes an outer housing assembly, an inner housing mounted inside the outer housing, a set of cable reinforcement retainer assemblies secured inside the inner housing, a back cover through which the cables respectively slide along and covers a central opening of the outer housing, a braided shield covering the cables, and a clamp that connects the shield onto the outer housing. When assembling the high voltage connector, the outer housing is mounted onto the device; the inner housing is secured inside the outer housing; the set of cable reinforcement retainer assemblies with associated cables is secured in and extends in a substantially vertical direction from the inner housing; a back cover is slid along the cables, and enters and covers a central opening of the outer housing; and a braided shield is mounted and connected to the outer housing by a clamp.
