Device and method for electrochemical device electrical interconnection

摘要

An electrochemical energy device includes a device housing and a pass-through connector extending through a wall of the device housing. The pass-through connector may include an electrically insulating connector housing having a quick connect feature and an electrically conductive pin located in the connector housing.

主权项

1. An energy storage device, comprising:
a device housing comprising a bottom, an opposing upper opening, sidewalls extending from the bottom to the opening, and a lip disposed around the opening and extending laterally outward from upper edges of the sidewalls; and a first pass-through connector comprising:
an electrically insulating first connector housing integrated with a first one of the sidewalls, extending downward from the lip, and having a quick connect feature and an open lower end; andan electrically conductive pin extending vertically through the lip and into the first connector housing along the first sidewall of the device housing, such that a free end of the electrically conductive pin faces the open lower end of the first connector housing, wherein the quick connect feature comprises at least two retaining sockets that extend into the first connector housing.
