Abstract
A high voltage interlock bypass connector for use with a female high voltage connector having an interlock is provided and includes a metal connector pin having a substantially U-shape with a connected end and a pair of terminal ends; and a handle formed around and enclosing the connected end of the connector pin opposite the terminal ends such that the terminal ends extend beyond the handle. The handle is configured to provide insulation from a voltage carried by the metal pin and is transparent such that the connected end of the metal pin enclosed by the handle is visible within the handle. The interlock bypass connector is configured to be inserted into the interlock to complete a high voltage interlock circuit without having to connect a corresponding male high voltage connector having integrated interlock pins.
