ABSTRACT:
A quick disconnect assembly is provided for use in a high voltage circuit. The assembly includes a housing having an elongated cavity closed at one end and open at the second or opposite end. The segment of the cavity proximate the second end is tapered with the narrow end thereof closest to the cavity closed end. A first electrical contact is disposed within the cavity and has a portion thereof disposed on the exterior of the housing. An elongated unit is removably positioned within the cavity and includes an insulated electrical lead having a second electrical contact formed on the end thereof and an elongated sleeve of insulative material disposed within the cavity and encompassing a portion of the lead. One end of the sleeve abuts the second electrical contact and the second end thereof terminates at the narrow end of the tapered cavity segment. A resilient seal piece encompasses a portion of the electrical lead extending from the second end of the sleeve. A cover member encompasses a portion of the electrical lead projecting from the cavity open end. The cover member when in one position is adjustable independently of the electrical lead and has a portion thereof encompassing and lockingly engaging a section of the housing adjacent the cavity open end causing the seal piece to be compressed and sealingly engage the tapered segment of the cavity and the first and second electrical contacts to positively engage one another.
