Definitions
- the present invention relates to a housing for the electrical connection of several high voltage electrical cables in the engine compartment of a motor vehicle. It is recalled that in the technical field considered, namely that of the automobile, the range of the high voltage ranges from 60 to 600 volts.
- the invention relates in particular to a housing for connecting various components belonging for example to a cooling circuit (for example a compressor and a kettle), and an electronic power unit (PEB) providing power electronics functions and in particular inverter to drive the machine and to convert a DC power source from one voltage level to another.
- a cooling circuit for example a compressor and a kettle
- PEB electronic power unit
- a housing for the electrical connection of at least two high-voltage electrical cables each comprising at least two insulated conductor wires of different electrical phases, the free end of each electrical conductor being provided with a terminal lug.
- electrical connection to eyelet the housing comprising an electrically insulating support plate which carries parallel threaded rods of electrically conductive material each of which is equipped with an axial clamping means.
- the support plate of insulating material carries six threaded rods, each of which is provided with an axial clamping nut of an eyelet terminal, it is to say that each free end of an electrical conductor is fixed and electrically connected individually to an associated threaded rod.
- the housing comprises means for electrical connection of the three associated threaded rods which are for example copper strips, also called “busbars", of sufficient cross section and which each comprise through holes by the threaded rods, the eyelets of the electrical connection lugs being tight in electrical contact with the conductive strip or strips by means of the nuts.

Both dwellings L1 and L2 are offset longitudinally and transversely relative to each other.
- the rear block 42 has a semi-cylindrical concave housing L3 adapted to receive the portion facing the cable C3.
- the housing L3 is centered longitudinally.
- the blocking plate 44 may be electrically conductive and provide a grounding function, or mass, of the housing through a metal tongue 50 which passes through a slot 52 of the bottom wall 20.
