Abstract

A separable high-voltage connector assembly which can miniaturize a size by individually separating each first pin of a connector mounted on a board to form multiple small connectors and simplify a process and prevent an error that connectors are incorrectly inserted into each other by forming an inserting connector through fastening and assembling each of individually separated second pins.

Claims (22)

1. A separable high-voltage connector assembly comprising:

a first connector including at least three small connectors, wherein each small connector includes only one first pin and a respective housing surrounding the first pin, and wherein each small connector is configured to be separately connectable to a board, and wherein none of the respective housings of the small connectors are in physical contact with each other; and

a second connector including a plurality of second pins, each second pin fastened to a corresponding one of the plurality of first pins, and wherein a total number of second pins of the second connector corresponds to a total number of first pins of the first connector,

wherein the second connector is integrally formed through fastening and assembling of the respective second pins to a connector body,

wherein each of the respective housings of the small connectors is separated by a spacing, and

wherein each of the spacings is sufficiently wide to enable the high-voltage connector assembly to perform high-voltage operations.

2. The separable high-voltage connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second connector includes a connector body, and

wherein each of the second pins is fastened and assembled to the connector body.

3. The separable high-voltage connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein each of the second pins is one pin.

4. The separable high-voltage connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of first pins is:

a female pin configured to receive the corresponding second pin, or

a male pin configured to be inserted into the corresponding second pin.

5. The separable high-voltage connector assembly of claim 1 , wherein each of the respective second pins is a female pin configured to receive the corresponding first pin, or

a male pin configured to be inserted into the corresponding first pin.

6. A manufacturing method of a separable high-voltage connector assembly, the manufacturing method comprising:

individually mounting at least three small connectors on a board, each small connector including only one first pin and a respective housing surrounding the first pin, the plurality of small connectors collectively forming a first connector, and none of the respective housings of the small connectors physically contacting one another;

integrally forming a second connector through fastening and assembling a plurality of second pins to a connector body; and

fastening the integrally formed second connector to the first connector through fastening each of the plurality of second pins to a corresponding one of the plurality of first pins,

wherein each of the respective housings of the small connectors is separated by a spacing, and wherein each of the spacings is sufficiently wide to enable the high-voltage connector assembly to perform high-voltage operations.

7. The manufacturing method of claim 6 , wherein the integrally forming of the second connector through fastening and assembling of the respective second pins includes fastening and assembling each of the second pins to a connector body.

8. The manufacturing method of claim 6 , wherein each of the second pins is one pin, and

wherein the fastening of the second connector including respective second pins to the plurality of first pins includes fastening the one pin of each of the second pins to the plurality of first pins.
