Abstract:
A high-amperage connector with visual alignment features is described. The connector can comprise a male connector with a male skirt where the male skirt has two keys on an outer surface. At least one of the keys on the outer surface of the male skirt can have an alignment feature. The connector also comprises a female connector with a female skin where the female skirt has two keyways on an inner surface of the female skirt. At least one of the keyways can have a corresponding alignment feature located on the outer surface of the female skirt. The alignment features on the male skirt and the female skirt allow a user to easily align the two connectors before connecting them.
