An insulated connection system for connecting a first busbar and a second busbar to at least a first connector and a second connector. The second busbar including a bar orifice to connect the first connector to the first busbar. The insulated connection system including an electrically insulating casing defining: a first recess portion for accommodating a first connecting portion of the first busbar, a second recess portion for accommodating a second connecting portion of the second busbar, and a sleeve portion for accommodating a portion of the second busbar provided with the bar orifice. The insulated connection system further including a busbar positioning assurance (BPA) member of electrically insulating material configured to accommodate a portion of the first connector and to be received in the connector passage and the bar orifice.

Insulated connection system for busbars

Electrical connector comprising a detection device for detecting potential overheating, which comprises an electrically conductive element and an electrically insulating element inserted between the electrically conductive element and a low-voltage line. The electrically conductive element exerts an elastic force on the insulating element. For example, the electrically conductive element is a spring. In the event of overheating, the insulating element deforms under the pressure of the electrically conductive element and enables an electrical connection between two low-voltage lines. The overheating is detected as a consequence of the electrical design of this connection between the low-voltage lines.

Passive detection of overheating in a power connector

An electrical bus bar comprising: a first mounting portion configured to be connected to a first counter connector, a second mounting portion configured to be connected to a second counter connector and a flexible section between the first and second mounting portions, wherein the bus bar comprises a first flat part and a second flat part, wherein each flat part extends from the first mounting portion to the second mounting portion and is arranged in a stacked configuration, wherein the first flat part and the second flat part is made of a sheet metal, wherein a first strip of the sheet metal extends from a body edge of the first flat part to a body edge of the second flat part forming a first link, wherein the first link is dimensioned to keep a first contact surface of the first flat part and a second contact surface of the second flat part in intimate contact.
