  • Patent number: 9640919
    Abstract: A connector assembly mechanically and electrically connects a shielded power cable, capable of conducting DC and multiple phase AC electric power, to drive motors and powered accessories of an electric vehicle. The connector assembly includes a shielded power cable, a connector body, a sealing ring, a tapered compression ring and a flexible rubber boot. The hollow frustoconical interior of the connector body and the frustoconical tapered compression ring, with the shield layer of the power cable compressed between them, form a self-locking taper that provides a strong mechanical connection. The sealing ring and the flexible rubber boot inhibit penetration of fluids and particles into the connector assembly. The addition of an adhesive to the compressed section strengthens the connection and reduces corrosion. Filling empty spaces inside the connector body with an adhesive sealer further prevents penetration by contaminants, reduces corrosion and strengthens the connector.

  • Patent number: 8801459
    Abstract: The invention relates to a coaxial connector (1), comprising a first and a second connector part (2, 3) and an adapter (4) arranged therebetween. The first and the second connector part (2, 3) include a first inner conductor (5) and a first outer conductor (8), including a first internal cylindrical contact surface (24) and a second internal cylindrical contact surface (25), respectively. In a socket area (17) of the first inner conductor (5), a first mechanical operative-connection means interacts with a second mechanical operative-connection means (11) in the installed state in order to establish a mechanical connection (13) that is effective in the axial direction (z). The first inner conductor (5) protrudes beyond the level of the mechanical operative-connection means (10, 11) so the internal cylindrical contact surface (24) is able to compensate a large axial offset (dz) of the connector parts (2, 3) relative to the adapter (4).
