Abstract
A power inlet connector assembly configured for use in charging an electrical vehicle includes a housing subassembly containing a plurality of direct current (DC) electrical terminals configured to mate with corresponding direct current electrical terminals of a power outlet connector of an electrical vehicle charging device external to the electrical vehicle and a cover subassembly configured to be connected and disconnected from the housing subassembly. The cover subassembly contains electrical bus bars and alternating current (AC) electrical terminals having first ends configured to mate with corresponding AC electrical terminals of a power outlet connector of an electrical vehicle charging device. The electrical bus bars are configured to be connected and disconnected with the DC electrical terminals and the AC electrical terminals are configured to be inserted and removed from terminal cavities defined by the housing subassembly.
