Abstract
A compact high voltage, high ampacity quick disconnect for alternately connecting and disconnecting an electrical power supply from a load. The disconnect includes two spaced apart terminals having axially aligned openings and embedded in a nonconductive housing. A conductive pin engages the openings to electrically couple the connectors. The pin has a handle in one end thereof for locking or moving the pin as needed. An elastomeric seal between the handle and the housing protects the quick disconnect from contamination.
