Abstract
A manual service disconnect for a battery system includes a disconnect header having a housing defining a receptacle, a high current terminal connector within the receptacle, a high voltage interlock (HVIL) connector within the receptacle and a control device terminal connector within the receptacle. A disconnect plug is removably coupled to the disconnect header. The disconnect plug has a high current fuse electrically connected to the high current terminal connector and a HVIL shunt terminal electrically connected to the HVIL connector. A current power control device is received in the receptacle and is electrically connected to the control device terminal connector. The current power control device is exposed for servicing when the disconnect plug is removed from the disconnect header and the current power control device is inaccessible when the disconnect plug is coupled to the disconnect header.
