Description

Multidirectional connection unit and high voltage connector having same

The present invention relates to a high voltage connector, and more particularly, a multidirectional connection unit capable of electrically connecting each of the terminal blocks in vertical and horizontal directions inside one connector through one terminal connection member, and the It relates to a high voltage connector with

A connector consists of a connector housing and a terminal, and is widely used in power circuits such as washing machines, refrigerators, or automobiles. When a connector is used in these electrical and electronic devices, several parts can be assembled individually and then inserted into a final product, so that not only device manufacturing but also maintenance work can be greatly simplified.

Recently, with the advent of electric vehicles, connectors capable of allowing high voltage have been developed. Among the high voltage terminals, there is a right-angle terminal. The right-angle terminal is a 'L'-shaped connector, and it can be seen that the direction of the part that is coupled with the counterpart connector is bent at a right angle.

This high-voltage right-angle terminal is composed of a plurality of parts. First of all, since it is a 'L' shape, at least two terminals extending in a direction orthogonal to each other are required, and a separate housing that surrounds and protects each terminal and an outer casing are included.

As such, there is a disadvantage in that the assembly sequence of the parts becomes very complicated because the number of parts is large. In particular, since the assembly direction is made in at least two directions due to the nature of the right angle, the operator cannot apply different assembly directions of each part.
