Abstract
A bulkhead connector includes an array of bus bars extending from a first face to a second face for interconnecting associated power cables on opposing sides of the bulkhead, and is also suited for bulkhead openings of the type having a cylindrical sleeve extending therearound outwardly from the bulkhead. Contained between a pair of metal plates and within a cylindrical sleeve is an elastomeric member through which the bus bars extend, the elastomeric member being compressed within the sleeve upon said first and second metal plates being tightly drawn toward each other by a stud assembly. The metal plates and elastomeric member provide fire resistant material extending transversely completely across the bulkhead opening, with apertures through which extend the bus bars. Exposed contact sections of the bus bars permit terminals to be fastened thereto, and the connector is adapted to prevent rotation of the fastened terminals during in-service use.
