Abstract
A connector assembly for charging a work machine includes at least one charging cable and at least one connector arrangement. The connector arrangement includes a socket. The socket defines a plurality of first through-apertures extending radially relative to a first longitudinal axis and a first passage. The connector arrangement also includes a charging pin adapted to couple with the socket. The charging pin defines a plurality of second through-apertures extending radially relative to a second longitudinal axis and a second passage. Further, when the socket is connected with the charging pin, the second passage aligns with the first passage and the second passage is in fluid communication with the first passage. Moreover, when the socket is connected with the charging pin, a fluid flowing through the socket and the charging pin is adapted to at least one of cool and clean the connector assembly.
