Abstract

Disclosed is a high-voltage male connector including: a male terminal formed of a metal material and having a plate shape; an insulating cap provided on a front end of the male terminal; an inner housing into which the male terminal is inserted and mounted such that the front end of the male terminal faces the outside; a partition unit integrally formed with an inner side of the inner housing and having a tetragonal pipe shape covering the male terminal; and an outer housing which is formed of a metal material and into which the inner housing is inserted and mounted.

Claims (19)

1. A high-voltage male connector comprising:

a male terminal formed of a metal material and having a plate shape;

an insulating cap provided on a front end of the male terminal;

an inner housing into which the male terminal is inserted and mounted such that the front end of the male terminal faces the outside;

a partition unit integrally formed with an inner side of the inner housing and having a tetragonal pipe shape covering the male terminal; and

an outer housing which is formed of a metal material and into which the inner housing is inserted and mounted,

wherein a shortest distance between a top or bottom surface of the male terminal and an inner top or bottom surface of the partition unit is defined as an insertion height, a shortest distance between a left or right side surface of the male terminal and an inner side surface of the partition unit is defined as an insertion width, and a shortest distance between a front end of the partition unit and a conductive portion of the male terminal is defined as a conductive portion depth, the insertion height is greater than or equal to the insertion width and is in a range of 2.5 mm to 12.0 mm.

2. The high-voltage male connector of claim 1 , wherein, when the insertion height is in a range of 2.5 mm to 3.1 mm, the conductive portion depth is 0.3 times or more than the insertion height.

3. The high-voltage male connector of claim 1 , wherein, when the insertion height is in a range of 3.1 mm to 4.0 mm, the conductive portion depth is 0.63 times or more than the insertion height.

4. The high-voltage male connector of claim 1 , wherein, when the insertion height is in a range of 4.0 mm to 12.0 mm, the conductive portion depth is 1.1 times or more than the insertion height.

5. The high-voltage male connector of claim 1 , wherein a width or thickness of a front end portion of the insulating cap is less than that of the male terminal.

6. The high-voltage male connector of claim 5 , wherein the insulating cap comprises an inclined portion such that a width or thickness of the front end portion thereof is less than that of the male terminal.

7. The high-voltage male connector of claim 1 , wherein the insulating cap is insert-injection molded.

8. The high-voltage male connector of claim 7 , further comprising at least one protruding portion integrally formed with the front end of the male terminal and inserted into the insulating cap.

9. The high-voltage male connector of claim 8 , wherein the at least one protruding portion has a plate shape which is thinner than the male terminal.

10. The high-voltage male connector of claim 9 , wherein the at least one protruding portion comprises a width reduction portion having a width less than a maximum width thereof.

11. The high-voltage male connector of claim 10 , wherein the width reduction portion is located between a portion of the at least one protruding portion having the maximum width and a front cross-section of the male terminal.

12. The high-voltage male connector of claim 8 , wherein the at least one protruding portion comprises at least one through-hole which passes through the at least one protruding portion in a lengthwise direction thereof.

13. The high-voltage male connector of claim 8 , wherein the at least one protruding portion comprises at least one separation-preventing bump protruding from a surface thereof.
