Patent ID: 8292651

Claim:
An output connector for a high voltage, high current power unit, comprising: a plug assembly including a dielectric plug body having two conductive biplates arranged generally parallel to each other along at least part of their length, each of the two conductive biplates abutting a dielectric biplate backer and the two conductive biplates separated by the dielectric biplate backer and presenting outwardly facing exposed surfaces on opposed sides of the biplate backer, a combination of the biplates and the biplate backer having a thickness; a header assembly including a dielectric header body having a receptacle recess and presenting two substantially parallel, inwardly facing, vertical support walls on opposing sides of the receptacle recess; a bus bar assembly including two contactors disposed in the receptacle recess, each of the two contactors being electrically and mechanically coupled to a flexible bus bar and each of the two contactors having an outwardly facing surface operably abutting the vertical support walls and the two contactors being arranged such that a space exists between the contactors, the space being sized a predetermined amount smaller than the thickness of the combination of the biplates and the biplate backer and to receive the biplate backer and biplates therein and between the contactors and the contactors to be forced outwardly against the vertical support walls; and a ring assembly operably couplable to the plug assembly and structured to force the plug assembly axially inward to the header assembly whereby the biplates and the biplate backer are forced between the contactors.
